Changeset 41737 for trunk/src/wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-terms-controller.php

Message:

REST API: Return 409 status when attempting to create an existing term.

Fixes an issue where submitting a well-formed request to create a term inappropriately returns a 500 error status if that term already exists.
HTTP 5xx error codes should be reserved for unexpected server errors, so "409 Conflict" is a more appropriate response.

Props alibasheer, guzzilar, shooper.
Fixes #41370.
