      Verify that not breakage happens via automated tests.

      With PHP 7.3 it would be possible to verify that the "PHP Warning" is not shown, but that has been already verified in the Epic issue with this patch applied. So testing that everything continues working in automated tests should be enough.

      Description

      With PHP 7.3 a warning has been added (about an existing problem) when continue; commands are used within switch statements. Really they act as normal break; statements there and, if within a loop, we should be using continue 2; instead.

      PHP Warning: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"

      This is about to find all those continue uses within switch statements and replace them with the correct statement when needed.
