#49871: REST API post link should be permalink for scheduled posts

 Scheduled posts now return something like this:

 {{{
 {
     "id": 34,
     "date": "2039-12-09T20:19:00",
     "slug": "message-from-the-past",
     "status": "future",
     "link": "https://example.com/?p=34",
 }
 }}}

 But I believe it makes more sense to actually return the permalink as
 link:
 {{{
 {
     "id": 34,
     "date": "2039-12-09T20:19:00",
     "slug": "message-from-the-past",
     "status": "future",
     "link": "https://example.com/2039/12/09/message-from-the-past",
 }
 }}}

 The only caveat is that we will need to create 301 redirects in case the
 slug changes (which is the case for published posts already).

 For example. if the slug becomes `old-message` the new link would be
 `https://example.com/2039/12/09/old-message`, but visiting
 `https://example.com/2039/12/09/message-from-the-past` should redirect to
 the new URL.

 There has been some discussion about this over here:
