REST API: Check post meta update authorization only when value is changed.

Resolves a bug where a post save will be reported as failed if the post includes any meta keys the current user does not have authorization to update, even when those meta values are unchanged.
Write authorization is now checked for a meta key only when the value of that key has changed, so that passing a REST response back unchanged will not cause failures.
Authorization is only needed when data will be updated.
