Description
Dear wordpress core,
I'm trying to remove all of the trailing slashes in wordpress core from the meta and link tags according to the W3C.
Whenever I have a blank wordpress site, and check that site with the w3c validator, I get a lot of info messages with the following text in it:
Info: Trailing slash on void elements has no effect and interacts badly with unquoted attribute values.
I made a fork of the wordpress master repository, and created a branch named trailingslash, where I think I've succesfully removed most if not all trailing slashes.
Please review my code.

Seems like unit tests are failing when trying to remove the trailing slashes.... Was this already known?

That would be nice, although I'm not sure if the syntax checkers in phpstorm for example are able to see that there are no errors. I think that removing the trailing slashes also creates a problem where syntax looks like it is wrong even though it is not. I'll do some extensive testing to see whether wordpress still works the way it should.
I tried to remove all trailing slashes on all link and meta tags in wordpress core.
