Introduce an object_subtype argument to the args array for register_meta() which can be used to limit meta registration to a single subtype (e.g. a custom post type or taxonomy, vs all posts or taxonomies).
Introduce register_post_meta() and register_term_meta() wrapper methods for register_meta to provide a convenient interface for the common case of registering meta for a specific taxonomy or post type. These methods work the way plugin developers have often expected register_meta to function, and should be used in place of direct register_meta where possible.

Prior to about 2013, many class methods lacked even access modifiers which made the `@access` notations that much more useful. Now that we've gotten to a point where the codebase is more mature from a maintenance perspective and we can finally remove these notations. Notable exceptions to this change include standalone functions notated as private as well as some classes still considered to represent "private" APIs.
See #41452.

With the addition of Array support in our schema validation functions, it's now possible to use these in the meta validation and sanitization steps. Also, this increases the test coverage of using registered via meta the API significantly.

Additionally, use these meta-caps in the REST API endpoints.
Previously, register_meta()'s auth_callback had no effect for non-post meta. This introduces `{add,edit,delete}_{comment,term,user}_meta` meta-caps to match the existing post meta capabilities. These are currently only used in the REST API.

Previously Settings only supported "number" which meant it was possible to push floats to things like posts_per_page. This means now developers can also specify `type => ineger` in meta nad settings resgration.

REST API endpoints for your WordPress content. These endpoints provide machine-readable external access to your WordPress site with a clear, standards-driven interface, allowing new and innovative apps for interacting with your site. These endpoints support all of the following:
- Posts: Read and write access to all post data, for all types of post-based data, including pages and media.
- Comments: Read and write access to all comment data. This includes pingbacks and trackbacks.
- Terms: Read and write access to all term data.
- Users: Read and write access to all user data. This includes public access to some data for post authors.
- Meta: Read and write access to metadata for posts, comments, terms, and users, on an opt-in basis from plugins.
- Settings: Read and write access to settings, on an opt-in basis from plugins and core. This enables API management of key site content values that are technically stored in options, such as site title and byline.
Love your REST API, WordPress! The infrastructure says, "Let's do lunch!" but the content API endpoints say, "You're paying!"
