$context is a path to a directory and shouldn't be false by default.

Automatic_Upgrader_Skin::request_filesystem_credentials() and WP_Upgrader_Skin::request_filesystem_credentials() need to be updated too.

@ocean90 Since we're changing the default for $context, 37412.diff adds changelog entries to the function DocBlocks and as well as DocBlocks for hooks that would additionally be affected by the change.

It might seem like a lot of ground to cover, but anybody relying on $context defaulting to false in the resulting hooks should get some kind of explanation.

In 38138:

Filesystem API: Change the default value for the $context parameter of get_filesystem_method() and request_filesystem_credentials() to an empty string.

$context is a full path to the directory that is tested for being writable. A path shouldn't be a boolean value.
This also updates WP_Upgrader_Skin::request_filesystem_credentials() and Automatic_Upgrader_Skin::request_filesystem_credentials() and adds missing docs.

Props DrewAPicture, ocean90.
Fixes #37412.
