 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="39604"
 WP-API: JavaScript client - fix setup of models used by wp.api.collections
 objects.

 Correct setup for the `model` attribute of `wp.api.collections` objects.
 Set the collection model as a function that returns a new model of the
 underlying type, instead of setting it as the model prototype. Fixes an
 issue where models for fetched collections weren't set up properly and
 didn't have the expected mixin methods such as `getCategories` available.

 Props jesseenterprises.
 Merges [39603] to the 4.7 branch.
 Fixes #39070.
