Message:

Pings/Trackbacks: Adjust auto-approving pingbacks and trackbacks from the same site.

Includes:

• Updating version annotations to 7.1.0.
• Clarifying "this site" means "the same site" in various docs.
• Prefixing the new filter with wp_.
• Extending the tests:
  • Adds a test to ensure MS sub-site posts are not auto approved.
  • Adds a test to ensure that post ID sent to filter is zero for external sites.
  • Adds docs for each test.

Developed in ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/12928.

Follow-up to r63036.
