 REST API: Allow sidebars and their widgets to be public.

 By default, only users with the `edit_theme_options` capability can access
 the sidebars and widgets REST API endpoints. In this commit, A new
 `show_in_rest` parameter is added to the `register_sidebar` function. When
 enabled, all users will be able to access that sidebar and any widgets
 belonging to that sidebar.

 This commit reduces the `context` for a widget's `instance` information to
 only `edit`. This is to ensure that internal widget data is not
 inadvertently exposed to the public. A future ticket may expose additional
 APIs to allow widget authors to indicate that their instance data can be
 safely exposed. REST API consumers intending to access this `instance`
 information should take care to explicitly set the `context` parameter to
 `edit`.

 Props spacedmonkey, zieladam.
 Fixes #53915.
