Description
Currently, app passwords check the edit_user meta capability. Ideally, we'd introduce a set of more fine grained capabilities for managing app passwords. This might be as simple as an manage_app_passwords meta cap that follows the same mapping as edit_user, or we could be more fine-grained and have list_app_passwords, create_app_passwords, etc...

Thanks for the review! Great point, I've deprecated it in 9972c38.

Watching because I'm interested to see if there are any good alternatives to introducing new primitive caps.
If it is time to introduce new primitive caps (perhaps in a "staggered" way so that a DB upgrade is not needed), the privacy component and media are also sorely in need of new caps, so co-ordination on this would be great.
