The menu, menu item, and menu location endpoints were added to the REST API in [52079]. In that commit, menu data was treated as private and restricted to logged-in users with the edit_theme_options capability. However, in many cases, this data can be considered public. Previously, there was no simple way for developers to allow this data to be exposed via the REST API.
This commit introduces the rest_menu_read_access filter, enabling developers to control read access to menus, menu items, and menu locations in the REST API. The same filter is applied across all three REST API classes, simplifying the process of opting into exposing this data.
Each instance of the filter provides the current request and the relevant class instance as context, allowing developers to selectively or globally enable access to the data.

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.
