The REST API does not provide a mechanism to distinguish between endpoints representing models and those representing collections, so the Backbone client must make that distinction internally. Previously wp-api.js accounted for `/users/me`, but not for `/settings`. This patch updates the logic so that `/settings` is properly registered as a Backbone model.
When calling `wp.api.init`, additional endpoints can be specified to be models using the `modelEndpoints` argument.
Merges [41112] onto 4.8 branch.

Enable connecting to multiple wp-api `endpoints`. Calling `wp.api.init` with a new `apiRoot` will parse the new endpoint's schema and store a new set of models and collections. A collection of connected endpoints is stored in `wp.api.endpoints`.

Fix parsing of custom namespace routes. Transform class names, removing dashes and capitalizing each word/route part so a route path of `widgets/recent-posts` becomes a collection with the name `WidgetsRecentPosts`. Correct parent route part when routes are longer than expected, reversing parse direction.

Correct setup for the `model` attribute of `wp.api.collections` objects. Set the collection model as a function that returns a new model of the underlying type, instead of setting it as the model prototype. Fixes an issue where models for fetched collections weren't set up properly and didn't have the expected mixin methods such as `getCategories` available.

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!"
