 REST API: Automatically populate targetHints for the Allow header.

 The REST API uses the "Allow" header to communicate what methods a user is
 authorized to perform on a resource. This works great when operating on a
 single item route, but can break down when needing to determine
 authorization over a collection of items.

 This commit uses the "targetHints" property of JSON Hyper Schema to
 provide access to the "allow" header for "self" links. This alleviates
 needing to make a separate network request for each item in a collection.

 Fixes #61739.
