Do not call the `prepare_links` methods in core REST API controllers, unless the `_links` or `_embedded` fields are requested. There is no need to prepare links if they are never returned in the response. This saves resources, as many calls to `prepare_links` methods perform database queries.

This commit introduces the `/wp/v2/menus`, `/wp/v2/menu-items` and `/wp/v2/menu-locations` REST API endpoints. These endpoints are fully available to users with the `edit_theme_options` capability, but can be read by any user who can edit a REST API available post type.
The `nav_menu` taxonomy and `nav_menu_item` post type now map their capabilities to the `edit_theme_options` primitive capability. This allows developers to provide more fine-grained access control. However, if a developer is currently dynamically removing the `edit_theme_options` capability using `map_meta_cap`, they should use the `user_has_cap` filter instead.
The `wp_update_nav_menu_item()` function has been adjusted to return an error if saving the menu item post or assigning the menu item to a menu generate an error.
Lastly, a new menu item type is introduced, `block`, that can be used to store a Block as a menu item.
