Description
Currently, supporting HTML5 in WordPress themes requires the author to pass an array citing each area where they wish to support HTML5. This made sense in the early days of HTML5 support, as authors might want to change gradually, but in modern development HTML5 should be the expectation, and the majority of authors will want to support all of these automatically.
To make this easier, I think we should be able to pass some form of truthy value into the html5 theme support that enables all HTML5 output.
Noted while looking into a related Gutenberg PR and observing that missing documentation was causing an HTML5 feature to be omitted in multiple places.

This PR enhances
add_theme_support( 'html5' )by allowing true as a shorthand to enable all HTML5-supported features. Previously, themes had to explicitly list each feature. This update simplifies adoption while maintaining backward compatibility.Trac ticket: #63060
