Comment (by jnylen0):

 Given the decision in #38439, `rest_base` is no longer useful for building
 URLs.  We should still add it though.  Here's another example where it
 would be useful:

 1. I'm looking at a taxonomy response e.g. `/wp/v2/taxonomies/post_tag`
 2. I follow the `collection` link to find some interesting terms in this
 taxonomy
 3. I want to add one of these terms to a post.  Which property name do I
 use?

 In step 3 I want the taxonomy's `rest_base`, but it's not available.
 Currently the only way I see to get it is by looking at the last piece of
 the `collection` URL.
