By default, only users with the `edit_theme_options` capability can access the sidebars and widgets REST API endpoints. In this commit, A new `show_in_rest` parameter is added to the `register_sidebar` function. When enabled, all users will be able to access that sidebar and any widgets belonging to that sidebar.
This commit reduces the `context` for a widget's `instance` information to only `edit`. This is to ensure that internal widget data is not inadvertently exposed to the public. A future ticket may expose additional APIs to allow widget authors to indicate that their instance data can be safely exposed. REST API consumers intending to access this `instance` information should take care to explicitly set the `context` parameter to `edit`.

While the new name is much better, it doesn't fully tell what will happen when invoked nor does it fully solve the root problems.
Why? The function is doing too much. And naming is hard.

The original name `retrieve_widgets()` was unclear as it suggested it was a getter, i.e. getting the widgets. This function does more than get: finds orphaned widgets, assigns them to the inactive sidebar, and updates the database.
The new name is `sync_registered_widgets()` which better represents what happens when this function is invoked.
The original `retrieve_widgets()` function is soft deprecated to avoid unnecessary code churn downstream for developers that support more than the latest version of WordPress.
Follow-up to [18630].

This fixes a bug where widgets are unintentionally moved to the `wp_inactive_widgets` sidebar when batch updates occur through the REST API.
When batch requests are processed, only `$_wp_sidebars_widgets is updated by previous calls to `WP_REST_Widgets_Controller::create_item()`. `$sidebars_widgets` is not aware of the new widget’s intended location, and `retrieve_widgets()` mistakenly flags the widget as inactive.
Calling `wp_get_sidebars_widgets()` before `retrieve_widgets()` ensures both global variables match and is intended as a temporary fix until the root cause of the problem can be fixed.

This adds the `$request` parameter to the `permissions_check()` methods within `WP_REST_Widgets_Controller` and adds `$request` as an allowed parameter to the `permissions_check()` method within `WP_REST_Templates_Controller`.
Even when this parameter is not used by default, it should be implemented to support the class being extended and the method overidden.

Registered widgets that do not extend WP_Widget should appear in the
wp_inactive_widgets sidebar by default. Having the widgets REST API call
retrieve_widgets() before serving any request ensures that this will happen.
This is a similar fix to [51235].

Adds new hooks (rest_save_sidebar, rest_delete_widget, rest_after_save_widget)
to the widgets REST API and uses them to delete the fresh_site option when
updating widgets via the REST API. This ensures that starter content isn't
loaded in the Customizer after a user makes changes.
