 When getting sticky posts from the API (for example, `site.com/wp-
 json/wp/v2/posts?sticky=true`), if there are no sticky posts set, the
 query just returns all posts — as if `sticky` was not set. I was expecting
 an empty array. If there are sticky posts, it behaves as expected, only
 returning the sticky posts.

 The source seems to be [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src
 /wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-posts-controller.php#L222
 this check in WP_REST_Posts_Controller].
