 This is a follow-up to #38547. I see the need to validate JSON bodies and
 provide appropriate feedback if the format is invalid, but an empty body
 should not be invalid. There are legitimate use cases for POSTing empty
 bodies in a REST API, especially considering the environments that
 WordPress tends to run in. Empty body POSTs are valid requests, should be
 a valid WP REST API request.
