 Similar to sites in #40365, there should be a networks endpoint as part of
 the REST API.

 Through recent multisite discussions, we have come to the conclusion that,
 while multi-network should never be part of core, there should be basic
 and unopinionated APIs present that can be used by whoever wants to
 implement it.

 A basic networks API in these terms implies that it's a simple CRUD API
 for the `wp_site` database table. #29411 will introduce the internal core
 functions that this endpoint will be able to use.

 The endpoint should be able to do the following:
 * List networks: `GET wp/v2/networks/`
 * Retrieve a network: `GET wp/v2/networks/<id>`
 * Create a network: `POST wp/v2/networks/`
 * Update a network: `PUT wp/v2/networks/<id>`
 * Delete a network: `DELETE wp/v2/networks/<id>`

 Once the changes in #25344 is in place, a network meta endpoint should be
 created as well. For now this will be part of this ticket too.

 Note that this ticket is an early one and will lay around for a while. The
 other non-network-related roadmap items have a higher priority.
