 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="43510"
 REST API: Support meta registration for specific object subtypes.

 Introduce an object_subtype argument to the args array for register_meta()
 which can be used to limit meta registration to a single subtype (e.g. a
 custom post type or taxonomy, vs all posts or taxonomies).

 Introduce register_post_meta() and register_term_meta() wrapper methods
 for register_meta to provide a convenient interface for the common case of
 registering meta for a specific taxonomy or post type. These methods work
 the way plugin developers have often expected register_meta to function,
 and should be used in place of direct register_meta where possible.

 Props flixos90, tharsheblows, spacedmonkey.

 Merges [43378] to the 4.9 branch.
 Fixes #38323.
