 **Context**

 In this Gutenberg PR, we're trying to introduce post locking
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/4217

 To do so, we're reusing the existing ajaxActions, and the the non-REST API
 URLs to take over the posts. Ideally, we'd like to be able to lock, unlock
 and takeover edition of posts without the need of a page refresh or usage
 of ajax actions.

 **Questions**

  - I wonder if we should return an error in the PUT/DELETE requests on
 single posts if the post is locked by another user. (Not required for the
 ticket as a V1 but might be good to think about it).
