Introduce a full CRUD endpoint in the REST API for guest authors.
This is needed because we're going to allow lower level users (eg. Authors) to create guest authors, and I don't want to mess about with the permissions of the /users endpoint, and using a new endpoint abstracts this away from user storage.
Mostly expects and exposes the same fields as the /users endpoint, except:
Email address should be optional, need to decide on strategy for populating users with a fake email address if one isn't provided, or whether allowing no email address works well
User login should be optional and will be generated if one isn't provided
role won't be required as the user will always have the guest author role
The capabilities required to read and write to this endpoint need to be filterable
Need to consider whether this endpoint will behave the same as the /users endpoint for non-authenticated requests, eg. by listing all guest authors that have published content
