HTTP 500 in `wp-json/batch` with specific arguments

[bor0]

Hitting the endpoint /wp-json/batch/v1 with specific arguments can result in 500.

To reproduce, use this script:

#!/bin/bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/wp-json/batch/v1 \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-u bor0:asdf \
-d '{
  "requests": [
    {
      "method": "POST",
      "path": "http://user@:80"
    }
  ]
}'

Results in [Mon Jan 27 12:23:43.157697 2025] [php:error] [pid 27451] [client ::1:61293] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method WP_Error::get_method() in /opt/homebrew/var/www/wp-includes/rest-api/class-wp-rest-server.php:1153

Reviewed the errors and see where the issue comes. I think we can't extend it, so I think it can be left as it is now.

I would confirm now that this is ready.
