Message:

Accessibility: Remove title attributes from the Meta widget.

• removes the Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform. title attribute
• removes the title attribute from the abbreviations: contrary to a common belief, title attributes on abbreviations are only available to a minority of users, see ​https://developer.paciellogroup.com/blog/2019/03/short-note-the-abbreviation-appreciation-society/
• changes the term RSS to feed, as RSS is a technical term not all users are supposed to be familiar with
• improves the widget_meta_poweredby filter documentation

Props nishitlangaliya, chetan200891, audrasjb.
See #46980, #24766.
Fixes #46978.
