 REST API: Avoid unnecessarily preparing item links.

 Do not call the `prepare_links` methods in core REST API controllers,
 unless the `_links` or `_embedded` fields are requested. There is no need
 to prepare links if they are never returned in the response. This saves
 resources, as many calls to `prepare_links` methods perform database
 queries.

 Props Spacedmonkey, timothyblynjacobs, rachelbaker, desrosj, dlh,

 Fixes #52992.
