Widgets REST API: Fix non-multi widgets not appearing in wp_inactive_widgets

Registered widgets that do not extend WP_Widget should appear in the
wp_inactive_widgets sidebar by default. Having the widgets REST API call
retrieve_widgets() before serving any request ensures that this will happen.

This is a similar fix to [51235].

Fixes #53534.
