 REST API: Allow site administrators to edit user roles in multisite.

 While site administrators cannot generally edit users in multisite, they
 have always been able to change the roles of users on their site. In the
 REST API however, this has not been possible so far. This changeset brings
 parity with how it is handled in the administration panel: A REST request
 to edit only a user's roles succeeds correctly, while a REST request to
 edit any further details of a user fails.

 Props jnylen0.
 Fixes #40263.
