 Related to #43265, #40422.

 Example:
 {{{#!js
 myApi = wp.api.init( {
         versionString: 'my-api/v1/'
         nonce: ''
 } );
 }}}

 In this case I don't want the client to include a nonce in requests at
 all. But because of the `args.nonce || wpApiSettings.nonce || ''`
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.9.4/src/wp-includes/js/wp-
 api.js?marks=1477#L1473 line] it always falls back to
 `wpApiSettings.nonce`.

 A use case would be a read-only endpoint on another site in a multisite.
