Makes the select labels in list table toolbars visible and persistent: Bulk actions, date, category, post format, comment type, change role, media type and link category. Each label and its select share a .tablenav-filter wrapper, and the toolbar groups wrap as flex rows, so a label never separates from its select and the Filter button stays last on screen and in tab order.

Also restores the Links filter label, empty since 5.7 because link_category had no filter_by_item label. Builds on the label changes in #10887 (props @Vedanshmini26). Plugins adding visible-label filters through restrict_manage_posts can use the same wrapper.

  • npm run test:php -- --group admin,taxonomy,link (single site and multisite)
  • Posts, Media (list view), Users, Comments and Links at 1512px, 1024px and 760px: labels beside their selects, wrapped rows spaced, Filter button last
  • Screen reader: each select announced with its visible label
  • RTL
