WordPress app: Enable REST API

[fluiddot]

The WP app only supports communicating with the site using XMLRPC. Following a negative app review seems that XMLRPC could be a concerning point when using the app due to security reasons.

Cool app, and useful functionality for doing limited editing on the run, but XMLRPC is wildly insecure and this app needs two factor authentication for me to use it securely. Will upgrade this review when it has this functionality!

Expected behavior

The WP app connects to sites using REST API.

Actual behavior

The WP app connects to sites using XMLRPC.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
