Comment (by danielbachhuber):

 @joehoyle @rmccue @rachelbaker Feedback on this when you have a moment.
 Couple of pieces I didn't get to in this first patch:

 1. When the `$url` is to a different domain, we should return `false`
 instead of creating a `WP_REST_Request` object.
 2. Needs to be hooked into `WP_REST_Server::embed_links()` and make sure
 we have sufficient test coverage.
