 In [changeset:"43378" 43378]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="43378"
 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.
 Fixes #38323.
