REST API: Prevent deletion of post revisions.

Allowing the client to delete revisions breaks the "audit trail" functionality. This is not allowed in WordPress and shouldn't be allowed through the API.
While not recommended, a plugin may opt-in to the previous behavior by setting a custom 'delete_post' capability for the revisions post type.

Fixes #43709.
