REST API: Add support for CURIEs.

CURIEs are Compact URIs, which provide a more usable way to use
custom relations in the API. The `wp` CURIE is registered by default
for `https://api.w.org/` URI relations.

Fixes #34729.

+		 *
+		 * Registered CURIES need to specify a name and URI template. This will
+		 * automatically transform URI relations into their shortened version.
+		 * The shortened relation follows the format `{name}:{rel}`. `{rel}` in
+		 * the URI template will be replaced with the `{rel}` part of the
+		 * shortened relation.
+		 *
+		 * For example, a CURIE with name `example` and URI template
+		 * `http://w.org/{rel}` would transform a `http://w.org/term` relation
+		 * into `example:term`.
+		 *
+		 * Well-behaved clients should expand and normalise these back to their
