Similar to the existing `role`/`role__in`/`role__not_in` query arguments, this adds support for three new query arguments in `WP_User_Query`:
* `capability`
* `capability__in`
* `capability__not_in`
These can be used to fetch users with (or without) a specific set of capabilities, for example to get all users
with the capability to edit a certain post type.
Under the hood, this will check all existing roles on the site and perform a `LIKE` query against the `capabilities` user meta field to find:
* all users with a role that has this capability
* all users with the capability being assigned directly
Note: In WordPress, not all capabilities are stored in the database. Capabilities can also be modified using filters like `map_meta_cap`. These new query arguments do NOT work for such capabilities.
The prime use case for capability queries is to get all "authors", i.e. users with the capability to edit a certain post type.
Until now, `'who' => 'authors'` was used for this, which relies on user levels. However, user levels were deprecated a long time ago and thus never added to custom roles. This led to constant frustration due to users with custom roles missing from places like author dropdowns.
This updates any usage of `'who' => 'authors'` in core to use capability queries instead.
Subsequently, `'who' => 'authors'` queries are being **deprecated** in favor of these new query arguments.
Also adds a new `capabilities` parameter (mapping to `capability__in` in `WP_User_Query`) to the REST API users controller.
Also updates `twentyfourteen_list_authors()` in Twenty Fourteen to make use of this new functionality, adding a new `twentyfourteen_list_authors_query_args` filter to make it easier to override this behavior.

This allows custom user meta values to be provided when creating or updating a user in the same way custom post meta can be provided to `wp_insert_post()` when creating or updating a post.

The `update_user_option()` function is a way to update a user meta value after adding a blog’s prefix to the beginning of the meta key. But when the fourth parameter is `true`, the behavior is exactly the same as calling `update_user_meta()` directly.
This replaces all instances of `update_user_option()` when the fourth parameter is `true` in Core with a direct call to `update_user_meta()` to prevent an unnecessary call to `update_user_option()`.

Share the `WP_User` instance for the current user between the functions `get_userdata()` and `wp_get_current_user()`. Both functions return the `$current_user` global for the current user.
Force refresh the `$current_user` global within `clean_user_cache()` by immediately re-calling `wp_set_current_user()` with the current user's ID. This ensures any changes to the current user's permissions or other settings are reflected in the global. As a side-effect this immediately rewarms the current user's cache.

Application Passwords uses Basic Authentication to transfer authentication details. If the site is already using Basic Auth, for instance to implement a private staging environment, then the REST API will treat this as an authentication attempt and would end up generating an error for any REST API request.
Now, Application Password authentication will only be attempted if Application Passwords is in use by a site. This is flagged by setting an option whenever an Application Password is created. An upgrade routine is added to set this option if any App Passwords already exist.
Lastly, creating an Application Password will be prevented if the site appears to already be using Basic Authentication.

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.
