 Follow-up to #40919.  The `wp-api.js` Backbone client should use
 `wp.apiRequest` to do its API calls.  This may be accomplished through
 overriding `Backbone.ajax` or through a change in the `wp-api.js` code.

 This will allow client-side code to override or modify all WP REST API
 calls in a single, centralized place.

 cc @adamsilverstein for your thoughts on the best way to achieve this.
