I18N: Initialize WP_Locale array properties.

Initializing the WP_Locale array properties to an empty array at the class definition point. Why?

  • Ensure the properties initialize to an array data type at instantiation (rather than null).

This initialization is needed to ensure the properties are not null if another class inherits from WP_Locale but does not run WP_Locale::init() from the constructor. In this case, the initialization prevents

Warning: array_values() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given

when Core uses any of the properties.

  • Good design practice.

The code and documentation are clearly expecting these properties to be an array data type. Setting each to a default array() state further helps to clearly communicate the code design.

Follow-up to [37889], [36292], [31078], [3676], [6589].
