 Currently one cannot sideload an image without assigning it to a post.
 After careful review I see that this feature can be enabled in the current
 WordPress by simply providing a default Post ID of 0.

 The attached post enables this feature.

 In case one wonders what the use case is, consider that Wordpress 4.x is
 no longer simply a blogging platform but now a full featured CMS with an
 expressive REST API that allows for very rapid development.
