 With Full Site Editing in Gutenberg, we will be letting people see site
 level settings in the editor (for example Site Title). Only users with
 manage_options should be able to change these settings, but we'll need to
 show them to all users who can edit posts, so that they can preview the
 editor with these elements displayed.

 This patch changes the capabilities needed to read the settings endpoint,
 so that anyone with edit_posts can read the settings, but not edit them.

 This is needed by this Gutenberg PR:
