 Similar to https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/45753.

 A Gutenberg issue (https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/31918)
 flagged that OPTIONS requests don't seem to return DELETE in the allow
 header.

 The presence of PUT might also need to be tested if there are endpoints
 that support that verb.

 To reproduce:
 1. Login as an admin user
 2. Open the post editor
 3. In the console run `wp.data.select( 'core' ).canUser( 'delete', 'posts'
 );`
 4. Switch to the browser dev tools network tab and check the options
 request that was just made.
 5. Observe that the allow header does not contain DELETE, even though the
 user can delete posts.

 Other types of requests to the same endpoint (e.g. `GET`) return a
 different allow header with the `DELETE` verb present.
