Message:

Scripts: Remove default type attribute from tags.

SCRIPT, STYLE, and stylesheet LINK tags do not require a type attribute since the HTML5 standard was released in 2008. Removing the type attribute simplifies logic and normalizes the produced HTML content.

Developed in ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/10658.

Follow-up to [46164].
