 REST API: Avoid unnecessarily preparing item links REST API index.

 Building upon the changes introduced in [53760], this commit refines the
 behavior of the REST API index. Specifically, it addresses performance
 concerns related to the unnecessary preparation of item links, such as
 site icon and logo links.

 Prior to this update, the index controller was invoking the prepare_links
 method regardless of whether the _links or _embedded fields were requested
 in the response. This led to unnecessary database lookups and decreased
 overall performance.

 In this commit, we implement a more efficient approach. Now, the
 prepare_links method will only be called when the _links or _embedded
 fields are explicitly requested in the response. This optimization ensures
 that we prepare links only when they are intended for inclusion in the API
 response, reducing unnecessary overhead.

 By implementing this improvement, we enhance the overall efficiency and
 performance of the WordPress core REST API index controller.

 Fixes #57902.
