 REST API: Remove experimental `filter` wrapper parameter from the Posts
 Controller class.

 Hiding WP_Query params under the filter key (instead of allowing them to
 be top-level params) was one of our biggest complaints from users of v1 of
 our REST API. This walks back the re-introduction of the `filter` param
 during Beta 15, which introduced an "inconsistent mess" and "exposing
 WP_Query through filter has and will continue to be difficult to support."
 See https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/issues/2799.

 Props websupporter, rachelbaker.
 Fixes #38378.
