Tests: Make data providers in abilities-api tests public and static

[huzaifaalmesbah]

Description

Makes the PHPUnit data provider methods in tests/phpunit/tests/abilities-api/ public static, as part of the PHPUnit 10+ migration (#62004).

PHPUnit 10 deprecated non-static data providers and PHPUnit 11 removed support for them. PHPUnit 9 accepts static providers, so this can land now.

Files changed:

• tests/phpunit/tests/abilities-api/wpAbilityCategoryRegistry.php:
  • data_valid_slug_provider(): Made public static.
  • data_invalid_slug_provider(): Made public static.
• tests/phpunit/tests/abilities-api/wpAbility.php:
  • data_execute_input(): Made public static.
  • data_validate_input_top_level_required(): Made public static.
  • data_execute_callback(): Made public static. The 'object method' test case now uses an anonymous class instance with the callback method instead of $this.

Note: wpAbilitiesRegistry.php's data provider (data_invalid_category_types) is already declared public static.
