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.

This method is useful whenever a JSON Schema needs to be converted to a format suitable for argument validation with `WP_REST_Request`. Moving the logic into a standalone function allows developers to use it outside of the `WP_REST_Controller` context.

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.

In [47758] a new function `rest_filter_response_by_context` was introduced to expand the JSON schema features supported by the context filtering mechanism.
This commit improves the performance of that function by eliminating repetitive comparisons and loops. Additionally, it improves multi-type support for object + array types.

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.

This allows for using multi-type support with a string that has a format. For backwards compatibility support, the format validation will still apply if the type is not specified, or it is invalid.
Two new doing it wrong notices are issued when omitting a type, or using an invalid type.

Currently themes can declare support for a given feature by using add_theme_support(). This commit adds a register_theme_feature() API that allows plugins and WordPress Core to declare a list of available features that themes can support.
The REST API uses this to expose a theme's supported features if the feature has been registered with "show_in_rest" set to true.

Previously, the WP_REST_Request object validated that top-level properties were defined, but this did not extend to those object's required properties. This adds validation to rest_validate_value_from_schema() directly.
Both the v3 and v4 JSON Schema syntax for required properties is supported.
