feat: content-create and content-update with schema validation

All-or-nothing writes: validation (fields, terms, featured image, parent,
template) before any write; failed extras delete the new draft (create) or
restore revision, old columns, fields, terms and featured image (update).
content-update requires rev; Rev::ofPost covers content, title, excerpt,
status and post_modified_gmt. MetaFieldSource::write() now throws on failure.
