Pascal Birchler a225165010 Role/Capability: Add support for capability queries in WP_User_Query.
Similar to the existing `role`/`role__in`/`role__not_in` query arguments, this adds support for three new query arguments in `WP_User_Query`:

* `capability` 
* `capability__in`
* `capability__not_in`

These can be used to fetch users with (or without) a specific set of capabilities, for example to get all users
with the capability to edit a certain post type.

Under the hood, this will check all existing roles on the site and perform a `LIKE` query against the `capabilities` user meta field to find:

* all users with a role that has this capability
* all users with the capability being assigned directly

Note: In WordPress, not all capabilities are stored in the database. Capabilities can also be modified using filters like `map_meta_cap`. These new query arguments do NOT work for such capabilities.

The prime use case for capability queries is to get all "authors", i.e. users with the capability to edit a certain post type.

Until now, `'who' => 'authors'` was used for this, which relies on user levels. However, user levels were deprecated a long time ago and thus never added to custom roles. This led to constant frustration due to users with custom roles missing from places like author dropdowns.

This updates any usage of `'who' => 'authors'` in core to use capability queries instead.

Subsequently, `'who' => 'authors'` queries are being **deprecated** in favor of these new query arguments.

Also adds a new `capabilities` parameter (mapping to `capability__in` in `WP_User_Query`) to the REST API users controller.

Also updates `twentyfourteen_list_authors()` in Twenty Fourteen to make use of this new functionality, adding a new `twentyfourteen_list_authors_query_args` filter to make it easier to override this behavior.

Fixes #16841.

<h2>First Things First</h2>
<p>Welcome. WordPress is a very special project to me. Every developer and contributor adds something unique to the mix, and together we create something beautiful that I&#8217;m proud to be a part of. Thousands of hours have gone into WordPress, and we&#8217;re dedicated to making it better every day. Thank you for making it part of your world.</p>

<h2>Installation: Famous 5-minute install</h2>
<ol>
	<li>Unzip the package in an empty directory and upload everything.</li>
	<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/install.php">wp-admin/install.php</a></span> in your browser. It will take you through the process to set up a <code>wp-config.php</code> file with your database connection details.
		<ol>
			<li>If for some reason this doesn&#8217;t work, don&#8217;t worry. It doesn&#8217;t work on all web hosts. Open up <code>wp-config-sample.php</code> with a text editor like WordPad or similar and fill in your database connection details.</li>
			<li>Save the file as <code>wp-config.php</code> and upload it.</li>
			<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/install.php">wp-admin/install.php</a></span> in your browser.</li>
		</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Once the configuration file is set up, the installer will set up the tables needed for your site. If there is an error, double check your <code>wp-config.php</code> file, and try again. If it fails again, please go to the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/forums/">WordPress support forums</a> with as much data as you can gather.</li>
	<li><strong>If you did not enter a password, note the password given to you.</strong> If you did not provide a username, it will be <code>admin</code>.</li>
	<li>The installer should then send you to the <a href="wp-login.php">login page</a>. Sign in with the username and password you chose during the installation. If a password was generated for you, you can then click on &#8220;Profile&#8221; to change the password.</li>
</ol>

<h2>Updating</h2>
<h3>Using the Automatic Updater</h3>
<ol>
	<li>Open <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/update-core.php">wp-admin/update-core.php</a></span> in your browser and follow the instructions.</li>
	<li>You wanted more, perhaps? That&#8217;s it!</li>
</ol>

<h3>Updating Manually</h3>
<ol>
	<li>Before you update anything, make sure you have backup copies of any files you may have modified such as <code>index.php</code>.</li>
	<li>Delete your old WordPress files, saving ones you&#8217;ve modified.</li>
	<li>Upload the new files.</li>
	<li>Point your browser to <span class="file"><a href="wp-admin/upgrade.php">/wp-admin/upgrade.php</a>.</span></li>
</ol>
