 Right now, we have `edit_post_meta`, `delete_post_meta`, and
 `add_post_meta`. In order to be able to expose metadata publicly, we need
 to be able to check if we can access individual keys.

 `is_protected_meta` only controls whether it's prefixed and should default
 to being protected (by default, prefixed with `_`). This isn't adequate to
 check for read permission on a key, because it's not filterable.
