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.

Previously, the search controller infrastructure required that the id property was an integer. This prevents data models that use a string id from utilizing the search infrastructure.
This commit lifts the restraint that search handlers return integer ids. This will allow for the Post Formats search handler coming in 5.6 to use slugs instead of creating fake ids.

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.

#50244 aims to introduce batch processing in the REST API. An important feature is the ability to enforce that all requests have valid data before executing the route callbacks in "pre-validate" mode.
This necessitates splitting `WP_REST_Server::dispatch()` into two methods so the batch controller can determine the request handler to perform pre-validation and then respond to the requests.
The two new methods, `match_request_to_handler` and `respond_to_request`, have a public visibility, but are marked as `@access private`. This is to allow for iteration on the batch controller to happen in the Gutenberg repository. Developers should not rely upon these methods, their visibility may change in the future.

Most request data is validated on a per-parameter basis. Often, however, additional validation is needed that operates on the entire request object. Currently, this is done in the route callback and often in the `prepare_item_for_database` method specifically.
#50244 aims to introduce batch processing in the REST API. An important feature is the ability to enforce that all requests have valid data before executing the route callbacks in "pre-validate" mode.
This patch introduces support for calling a `validate_callback` after all parameter validation has succeeded. That allows moving more validation outside of the route callback and into `WP_REST_Request` which will improve "pre-validate" support.

Support for the `uniqueItems` keyword was added in [48357], but wasn't included in the list of permitted keywords for `WP_REST_Controller::get_endpoint_args_for_item_schema()`. This prevented the keyword from being automatically supported if specified in a controller's item schema.

Gutenberg no longer uses the assets field to fetch the assets for the installed block so this field can be dropped from the endpoint. This allows us to reintroduce it at a later point without needing to worry about backward compatibility.

In [47559] the `WP_REST_Request::set_param()` method was adjusted to try and overwrite an existing parameter definition before forcing the value in the first parameter slot. If `set_param()` was called on a request with an `application/json` content type and an empty body, a PHP warning would be issued. This was due to the JSON parameter type not being set to an array when the body is empty.
This commit avoids the warning by adding an `is_array()` check before calling `array_key_exists`. Ideally, `WP_REST_Reuest::parse_json_params()` would set the JSON parameter type to an empty array in this case, but that is too large of a change at this point in the cycle.

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.

The Content-Disposition and Content-MD5 headers allow for easier file uploading across domains by using a File/Blob object directly. The X-WP-Nonce header is allowed for making cross-origin and same-origin authenticated requests consistent.
Additionally a filter is introduced, "rest_allowed_cors_headers", to simplify the process of allowing additional request headers.

The `register_meta()` API now officially supports specifying a default metadata value. When `get_metadata()` is called for a meta key that does not yet exist for the object, this default value will be returned instead of an empty string.
A new function is introduced `get_metadata_raw` to retrieve the raw metadata value from the database, without applying the registered default.
