Refactor core module theme functions (templates) to separate data logic from markup decisions, enabling modules to alter the former

We now have the ability to have (sane and meaningful) preprocess (and process) functions for all theme hooks: #572618: All theme functions should take a single argument to make preprocess sane and meaningful → . I don't think there are many, but there are some theme functions that combine way too much data and logic along with presentation decisions. This makes it unnecessarily difficult for modules to adjust the data and logic decisions. Patch coming in a follow-up comment.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
