In WordPress 4.4 the REST API was first introduced. A few releases later in WordPress 4.7, the Content API endpoints were added, paving the way for Gutenberg and countless in-site experiences. In the intervening years, numerous plugins have built on top of the REST API. Many developers shared a common frustration, the lack of external authentication to the REST API.
This commit introduces Application Passwords to allow users to connect to external applications to their WordPress website. Users can generate individual passwords for each application, allowing for easy revocation and activity monitoring. An authorization flow is introduced to make the connection flow simple for users and application developers.
Application Passwords uses Basic Authentication, and by default is only available over an SSL connection.

In [48306] support for multi-typed schemas was improved to first detect the data type of the value before applying further validation. The `integer` data type was detected using the new `rest_is_integer` function. This function used logic, however, that assumed that the value had already passed an `is_numeric` check. This meant that if `integer` and `string` were both acceptable types, the value would always be considered an `integer` causing the later accurate type validation to fail.
This commit fixes the `rest_is_integer` logic to include an `is_numeric` check.

The REST API treats routes without a permission_callback as public. Because this happens without any warning to the user, if the permission callback is unintentionally omitted or misspelled, the endpoint can end up being available to the public. Such a scenario has happened multiple times in the wild, and the results can be catostrophic when it occurs.
For REST API routes that are intended to be public, it is recommended to set the permission callback to the `__return_true` built in function.

A multi-type schema is a schema where the `type` keyword is an array of possible types instead of a single type. For instance, `[ 'object', 'string' ]` would allow objects or string values.
In [46249] basic support for these schemas was introduced. The validator would loop over each schema type trying to find a version that matched. This worked for valid values, but for invalid values it provided unhelpful error messages. The sanitizer also had its utility restricted.
In this commit, the validators and sanitizers will first determine the best type of the passed value and then apply the schema with that set type. In the case that a value could match multiple types, the schema of the first matching type will be used.
To maintain backward compatibility, if unsupported schema types are used, the value will always pass validation. A doing it wrong notice is issued in this case.

Calling `register_rest_route()` too early in the loading process has the potential to cause some unintentional problems and pitfalls. Because `register_rest_route()` calls `rest_get_server()` (which creates the `WP_REST_Server` instance), calling the function directly and/or before `rest_api_init` should be discouraged.
For example, if `register_rest_route ()` is called on `init`, the REST API server instance is set up (and all functions added to `rest_api_init` and other related hooks are invoked), even though the current request may not be a REST request. Also, if `register_rest_route()` is called even earlier (say, in an `mu-plugin` file), required endpoints may be missing since normal plugins have not yet been loaded and have not had a chance to register their own action hooks.
This adds a `_doing_it_wrong()` notice the first time `register_rest_route()` is called before `rest_api_init` in a request to encourage best practices for registering REST API routes.

WordPress has historically often used code like `preg_split( '/[\s,]+/', $var )` to parse a string of comma-separated values into an array. However, this approach was causing an empty string to not be parsed into an empty array as expected, but rather into an array with the empty string as its sole element.
This was among other areas causing problems in the REST API where passing an empty request parameter could cause that request to fail because, instead of it being ignored, that parameter would be compared against the valid values for it, which typically do not include an empty string.

- Adds `WP_REST_Autosaves_Controller` which extends `WP_REST_Revisions_Controller`.
- Autosaves endpoint is registered for all post types except attachment because even post types without revisions enabled are expected to autosave.
- Because setting the `DOING_AUTOSAVE` constant pollutes the test suite, autosaves tests are run last. We may want to improve upon this later.
Also, use a truly impossibly high number in User Controller tests. The number `100`, (or `7777` in `trunk`), could be valid in certain test run configurations. The `REST_TESTS_IMPOSSIBLY_HIGH_NUMBER` constant is impossibly high for this very reason.
Finally, Skip Autosaves controller test for multisite. There's a PHP 5.2 edge case where paths calculated differently, possibly caused by differing version of PHPUnit.
