Message:

Posts, Post Types: Remove title attribute from the_shortlink().

Since [13683], the_shortlink() has included a title attribute. By default, that gives the sanitized post title, and it does not sanitize custom text. Given the low value of this attribute, this changeset removes it.

Props sabernhardt, audrasjb, joedolson.
Fixes #62838.
See #24766.
