Merge profile.php and user-edit.php

[nbachiyski]

Inspired by #5508, this patch tries to merge wp-admin/profile.php and wp-admin/user-edit.php, since these files contain much common code.

Some details:

• Both files are retained in order all old links to work. profile.php is almost empty and just sets a variable and loads user-edit.php
• Password strength meter and pluggable personal options are still available only on the profile page.
• The capability system was modified (with great help from Ryan) so that current_user_can('edit_user', $uid) returns true if the current user has id $uid

That is a pretty sweet patch. I'll see about testing it over the weekend. If at all possible, can you move the function outside of the file into another file in the wp-admin/includes folder?

I think the goal is to have as much separate of presentation and business logic as possible. Just a suggestion, if you want to spend time doing it.

This one function is presentation-oriented and isn't used anywhere else, so it would better stay there.

(In [6697]) Merge user-edit.php and profile.php. Props nbachiyski. fixes #5736

[ryan]

(In [6699]) Define parent_file and submenu_file after admin.php is loaded. see #5736

[ryan]

(In [6700]) Fix profile submenu highlight. Make is_profile_page a constant so that register globals can't manipulate it. see #5736

[nbachiyski]

profile-update.php is no longer needed -- all the work is done in user-edit.php

[jopa]

with this patch the bug #5508 will be fixed? or its just a patch for merging the profile and user-edit php files?

Thanks

(In [6703]) profile-update.php no longer needed. see #5736

Closing as fixed as I can't see anything left to do here.
