#42864: REST API: Fire an action after items are completely inserted/updated

--------------------------+-----------------
 In `wp_insert_post()`  and `wp_insert_comment()`, the corresponding
 `wp_insert_post` and `wp_insert_comment` actions are run at the very end,
 after all meta and additional fields are inserted or update.

 The equivalent REST API `rest_insert_*` actions are fired ''before'' the
 meta and additional fields are updated - there isn't an action to hook
 into, which is triggered after.

 I expect this to become more of an issue with Gutenberg, as the behaviour
 of the existing post editor is that the post and related data have been
 completely updated by the time `wp_insert_post` fires.
