REST API: Normalize WP_REST_Server::dispatch() to return a response object.

Previously, the `rest_pre_dispatch` filter could be used to return a `WP_Error` instance. This would cause a fatal error for `rest_post_dispath` 
filters that were rightly expecting a `WP_REST_Response` object to be passed instead.

Props DaveFX, felipeelia.
Fixes #56566.
