Historically, the REST API would generate the entire response object, including running expensive filters, then it would apply the `_fields` parameter, discarding the fields that weren't specificed.
This change causes `_fields` to be applied earlier, so that only requested fields are processed.

There are a variety of operations a WordPress user can only perform if they have the correct capabilities. A REST API client should only display UI for one of these operations if the WordPress user can perform the operation.
Rather than requiring REST API clients to calculate whether to display UI based on potentially complicated combinations of user capabilities, `targetSchema` allows us to expose a single flag to show whether the corresponding UI should be displayed.
This change also includes flags on post objects for the following actions:
- `action-publish`: The current user can publish this post.
- `action-sticky`: The current user can make this post sticky, and the post type supports sticking.
- `action-assign-author': The current user can change the author on this post.
- `action-assign-{$taxonomy}`: The current user can assign terms from the "$taxonomy" taxonomy to this post.
- `action-create-{$taxonomy}`: The current user can create terms int the "$taxonomy" taxonomy.

When registering routes developers can now define their complex objects in the schema and benefit from the automatic validation and sanitization in the REST API. This also paves the way for support for complex object registration via register_meta and register_setting.

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.

In [38625], the functionality to search for attachments by filename was added
via the `posts_clauses` filter and the `_filter_query_attachment_filenames()`
function. This moves `_filter_query_attachment_filenames()` from
`wp-admin/includes/post.php` to `wp-includes/post.php` so that it can be
applied in the same manner in the REST API media endpoint.

Brings consistency to the `rest_insert_*` actions. Also includes some shuffling and clean-up as well including:
- Ensure we are passing the most current `$post` and `$user` objects to the `update_additional_fields_for_object()` callbacks.
- Changes the function signature of `handle_status_param()` in the Comments controller to accept just the comment_id as the 2nd parameter, instead of a full WP_Comment object. Only the comment_id is needed in the method, this avoids having to include another `get_comment()` call.
- Renames a variable in the `create_item()` method of the Posts controller from `$post` -> `$prepared_post` to be more explicit.
- Minor fixes/clarifications to the rest_insert_* hook docs

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!"
