 Migrated from https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/issues/2791.  Current
 status from @rachelbaker:

 ----

 The Comments Controller does not have a password param to support
 viewing/editing/creating/deleting comments on password protected posts.
 Attempting to interact with a comment on a password protected post returns
 a WP_Error because without the proper post password the permission checks
 fail.

 Action items:

 - Add the password param to allow users to pass the password for the
 related Post to a Comment.
 - Modify our permission checks to support handling the password param
 - Add unit tests

 ----

 I think this parameter should be called `post_password` and we should try
 to get this into 4.7 for consistency and completeness.  Arguable whether
 this is a bug, but it's unexpected behavior to me.
