 Cap check changes [https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel
 =wordpress-dev&day=2012-02-22&sort=asc#m368792 discussed] yesterday on
 IRC:

 * Only `wp.editTerm` needs to check the `edit_terms` cap. The
 `wp.getTerm`, `wp.getTerms`, `wp.getTaxonomies`, and `wp.getTaxonomy`
 methods should check `assign_terms` instead since they are read-only.
 * nacin suggested `wp.newTerm` should also check `assign_terms` instead of
 `edit_terms`/`manage_terms`, since currently that's all that's required to
 create a new tag. He's going to follow up/confirm after doing some more
 research.
