WP_Customize_Manager::grant_edit_post_capability_for_changeset( string[] $caps, string $cap, int $user_id, array $args ): array

Re-maps ‘edit_post’ meta cap for a customize_changeset post to be the same as ‘customize’ maps.

Description

There is essentially a "meta meta" cap in play here, where ‘edit_post’ meta cap maps to the ‘customize’ meta cap which then maps to ‘edit_theme_options’. This is currently required in core for wp_create_post_autosave() because it will call _wp_translate_postdata() which in turn will check if a user can ‘edit_post’, but the the caps for the customize_changeset post type are all mapping to the meta capability.
This should be able to be removed once #40922 is addressed in core.
