Connect self-hosted WordPress with an application password

Connects one self-hosted WordPress site using a WordPress username and application password. siteUrl must use HTTPS and may include the path where WordPress is installed. Zernio discovers the REST API, verifies the credentials and required post/media/taxonomy capabilities, then stores the password encrypted. Create an application password in the WordPress user's profile; do not send the user's login password. Reconnecting the same site and profile updates the connection in place.
