Disable WP core REST API introduced in WP 4.4. and remove its HTTP header and link tag

== Description ==

REST API introduced in WordPress 4.4 is a great resource for people interested in using it, but if you don't want to use it probably you will want to close this new door to your WordPress.

Fortunately the WP core team provides hooks and filters to turn it off. This plugin simply makes use of them to disable the REST API server and remove its HTTP header and link tag.

= How can I test if the REST API was really disabled? =

Just use your browser to go to http://example.com/wp-json (replace example.com with your site domain). You will see the following message:

`{"code":"rest_disabled","message":"The REST API is disabled on this site."}`

You can also check your HTTP headers and your site page source code to see that the link to https://api.w.org/ is gone.
