In 53490:

Code Modernization: Pass correct default value to setcookie() in wp_user_settings().

The wp_user_settings() function calls the PHP native setcookie() function, the fifth parameter of which is the optional $domain parameter which expects a string.

A parameter being optional, however, does not automatically make it nullable.

As of PHP 8.1, passing null to a non-nullable PHP native function will generate a deprecation notice.

In this case, this function call yielded a setcookie(): Passing null to parameter #5 ($domain) of type string is deprecated notice.

Changing the null to an empty string fixes this without a backward compatibility break.

In 53493:

Tests: Add a unit test for PHP 8.1 deprecation notice in wp_user_settings().

This ensures that PHP 8.1 "passing null to non-nullable" deprecation notice is not thrown for the $domain parameter of setcookie() calls in the function.
