This is currently difficult to do, as you have to send one request for each
associtation. Instead, this PR makes it possible to POST to
/wp/v2/posts/123/terms/category with { ids: [1,2,4] }.

We could also add a names param to assign multiple terms via Name, which is
an often requested feature we don't currently support.

Why use an append keyword instead of using the differences between the HTTP Verbs PUT and PATCH?

Supporting PATCH is a pretty major undertaking, since PATCH isn't just a partial update. We'd need to support something like JSON Patch fully to do it. (I don't think that's a bad idea, but it does mean a fair amount of work.)
