--------------------------+-----------------------------
 When performing a REST API request and adding the '''?_embed''' query
 parameter the API attempts to embed all resources that is linked with
 '''embeddable''' set to true.

 In some cases we may need to only embed some resources, not all embeddable
 resources. I am requesting that the feature be added to allow the
 filtering of a resources when specifying the _embed parameter.

 Example:

 {{{
 http://<site>/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/48?_embed=author,wp:term
 }}}

 If implemented, the above request should only embed the Author and the
 Terms.  (note that in this example : will be encoded to %3A)

 '''Starting point:'''
 This can be implemented on the WP_REST_Server class and is likely to
 effect the following methods:
 response_to_data, embed_links
