BREAKING CHANGE: Removes meta endpoints from primary plugin.

If your project depends on post meta endpoints, please install WP REST API Meta Endpoints. For the gory history of meta, read #1425 and linked issues. At this time, we recommend using register_rest_field() to expose meta (docs).

BREAKING CHANGE: Returns original resource when deleting PTCU.

Now that all resources require the force param, we don't need to wrap delete responses with the trash state.

Building the REST API gives us the opportunity to standardize on roles, instead of having both roles and role.

(props @joehoyle, #2177)

BREAKING CHANGES: Moves to consistent use of context throughout controllers.

Contexts limit the data present in the response. Here's how to think of them: embed correlates with sidebar representation, view represents the primary public view, and edit is the data expected for an editor.
