 `\WP_REST_Attachments_Controller::create_item()` does not call
 `parent::create_item()`, thus it also doesn't call
 `\WP_REST_Posts_Controller::handle_terms()`. That means it's impossible to
 assign terms to the freshly uploaded attachment.

 `rest_after_insert_attachment` can be used to work around this, but I
 think it would make sense to have this built-in.

 Requires only a few lines of code:

 {{{#!php
 $terms_update = $this->handle_terms( $post_id, $request );

 if ( is_wp_error( $terms_update ) ) {
         return $terms_update;
 }
 }}}
