 Follow-up to #40919.

 Let's explore getting rid of the `oEmbedProxyUrl`
 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/1c28b4a/src/wp-
 includes/media.php#L3449 property] used to pass a REST API URL down to
 `wp-admin` code that calls out to this endpoint
 ([https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/1c28b4a/src/wp-
 includes/js/media/views/embed/link.js#L56 example]).  We can use the
 helper library introduced in #40919 instead:

 {{{#!js
 wp.apiRequest( {
     namespace: 'oembed/1.0',
     path: '/proxy',
     // ...
 } );
 }}}

 This helper will allow us to eliminate all `rest_url` calls passed to
 client code through script localization.  This will eventually lead to a
 lot of duplication, but it seems like it should be very clear from the
 requesting code which API endpoint is being called.
