Change the capability check used in `WP_REST_Terms_Controller` when creating a new term is attempted, from `manage_terms` to `edit_terms`. This matches the behavior within the WordPress admin. See #35614.

In the `check_username()` and `check_password()` callbacks in the Users controller cast the provided request value to a string. The `rest_sanitize_value_from_schema()` function was being used incorrectly which was causing unintended request parsing.
In `rest_sanitize_request_arg()` do not pass nonexistent third parameter for the `rest_sanitize_value_from_schema()` function.

Core requires the post password to view and create comments on password protected posts, so we must support a “password” param on the comments endpoint when fetch comments for a specific post and creating a comment on a password protected post.

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

Adding a brand new anonymous comment method is a potential conduit for spam. Since it's still useful functionality, we're now hiding it behind a filter to allow plugins and themes to turn it on if they do want it.

Users without the moderate_comments capability can no longer set the `author_ip` property directly, and instead receive a `WP_Error` if they attempt to do so. Otherwise, the `author_ip property` is populated from `$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']` if present and a valid IP value. Finally, fallback to 127.0.0.1 as a last resort.

WordPress has not used the `karma` property internally for the past 8 years. There is no need to expose it in the REST API endpoints. Sites that use `karma` can include it using the `register_rest_field()` function.

Of the default comment_types, only comments are expected to be created via the REST API endpoint. Comments do not have registered types the way that Posts do, so we do not have a method to accurately check permissions for arbitrary comment types.

For developers wanting to add their own registered collection parameters, they can now use the `rest_$type_collection_params` filter. This brings consistency with the already existing `rest_$post_type_collection_params`.

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.
