Message:

Text Changes: Remove self-reference ("we") in WordPress Admin.

This changes some admin-area, user-facing text, to better match the guidelines and recommendations set forth in the make/core handbook, specifically:

the word “we” should be avoided (...) unless its made very clear which group is speaking

Follow-up to [51979], [53131], [53132], [53148], [53156].

Props kebbet, costdev, SergeyBiryukov.
Fixes #55758.
See #46057.
