Improve orderby menu_order for REST requests.

Description

Use this plugin if the version of Gutenberg/WordPress you're using does not yet support this natively and you have more than 100 pages.

Filters a REST query ordered by menu_order to ensure a repeatable sequence over multiple pages.

It does this by adding post_title and ID to the orderby clause, to ensure a consistent sort sequence as menu_order is not always set.

This plugins implements a workaround for Gutenberg issue #12795 PR #23647.

This plugin can be removed when Gutenberg and/or WordPress core supports pagination of requests ordering on menu_order.

@see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/46294
