Comment:

 @dshanske could you give an example of how this would fix the issue with
 the different auth plugins? The REST API Server does not pass the
 `WP_REST_Request` object to the `rest_authentication_errors` filter. So
 any auth plugin that relied upon the `Authorization` header would have to
 manually retrieve the header value anyways.

 Is the idea that they would use `rest_get_server()->get_headers( $_SERVER
 )['AUTHORIZATION']` instead of checking against `$_SERVER` themselves?
