Message:

REST API: Add who=authors as a query parameter for GET wp/v2/users.

Any WordPress user who can edit_posts of a post type with show_in_rest=true can query for authors. This maps to current WordPress behavior where a WordPress user who can view the Manage Posts view for a post type can see any WordPress user assigned to a post (whether published or draft).

This implementation, over restricting who=authors to users with list_users, gives us future flexibility in displaying lists of posts. It still respects more restrictive permissions for context=edit.

Props danielbachhuber.
Fixes #42202.
