 A Post in the Gutenberg needs access to:

 * Total number of revisions.
 * Last revision ID.

 This data is important for revisions UI in the Post Settings section.

 At the moment, the data is exposed in a pretty hacky manner:

 {{{
 "ping_status": "open",
 "revisions": {
     "count": 2,
     "last_id": 3
 },
 "slug": "foo-bar-post",
 }}}

 Is there a better way of exposing this data? I don't have a strong opinion
 but maybe it'd be better on `_links`.
