 By default, WordPress adds three `<link rel="alternate" ...` to the
 `<head>` of every post.

 These are missing the `title="..."` attribute. This means that some
 browsers will announce the links as "alternate" with no explanation of
 their destination - see screenshot attached.

 The three links are:

 {{{
 <link rel="alternate" type="application/json" href="https://example.com
 /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/123" />
 <link rel="alternate" type="application/json+oembed"
 href="https://sexample.com/wp-
 json/oembed/1.0/embed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fpost%2F" />
 <link rel="alternate" type="text/xml+oembed" href="https://example.com/wp-
 json/oembed/1.0/embed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fpost%2F&format=xml"
 />
 }}}

 Ideally, these would have `title="JSON"`, `title="oEmbed (JSON)"`,
 `title="oEmbed (XML)"` or similar.
