 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="40101"
 REST API: Fix multiple issues with setting dates of posts and comments.

 This commit modifies the `rest_get_date_with_gmt` function to correctly
 parse local and UTC timestamps with or without timezone information.

 It also ensures that the REST API can edit the dates of draft posts by
 setting the `edit_date` flag to `wp_update_post`.

 Overall this commit ensures that post and comment dates can be set and
 updated as expected.

 Fixes #39256.
