Menus Endpoint

@spacedmonkey has continued work on the menus endpoint. Initial feedback was provided on the PR. The majority of the feedback has been addressed or is currently being worked on. It was decided to merge this PR soon and continue iterating in follow-up issues for the remaining feedback and decisions.

The first versions are using blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. attributes to rapidly prototype the UXUX User experience. However, everything is open and using the REST API is a possibility.

@spacedmonkey brought up menu permissions. Ideally, some menu data would be publicly accessible, but that might show data that users don’t want to be public. @timothybjacobs suggested that to start, only menus that were attached to a menu location that was specifically marked as public would be exposed. A Github issue was opened for further discussion.
