* Rediscover the REST API root when its host does not match the site

A blog's stored restApiRootURL can go stale: WP.com Simple sites advertise a
public-api.wordpress.com rest_route proxy root, which breaks direct wp/v2
requests once the site migrates to Atomic and an application password starts
being used, and a domain change leaves the root pointing at the old host.
Because the stored value was never re-validated, features on the core REST
API path (such as tags) failed with rest_no_route while WP.com v1.1 features
kept working.

Treat a host mismatch between the stored API root and the site URL as stale
and run API discovery again, persisting the rediscovered root. When
rediscovery fails, keep using the stored root so sites with unreachable or
disabled discovery are no worse off than before. Roots on the site's own
host are used as is, with no extra network traffic.

* Propagate cancellation before falling back to the stored REST API root

A cancelled API discovery surfaces as a discovery failure rather than a
CancellationError, so the stored-root fallback could let a cancelled
operation keep running. Check for task cancellation explicitly before
applying the fallback.

* Compare API root and site hosts using URL values

The stale-root check parsed both the stored REST API root and the site URL strings again just to read their hosts. Fetch the site URL as a URL, reuse the already-parsed root, and compare their hosts directly, dropping the string-parsing helper.

* Document the expected call frequency of createPasswordIfNeeded
* Attach the current site to the notifications_accessed event

The notifications list spans all sites, so no single site is truly scoped
to the event. Attach the currently visible (or last used) site so the
account-level event carries a blog_id, consistent with other tab-access
events.

* Attach the site to Jetpack Stats analytics events

The Stats analytics bridge (WPAnalyticsStatsTracker) forwarded every
JetpackStats event without a blog_id. Pass the viewed site's ID into the
tracker and stamp it on each event, so site-scoped Stats events such as
jetpack_stats_card_shown and jetpack_stats_main_screen_shown carry a
blog_id.

* Attach the site to the editor_settings_fetched event

* Attach the site to the free_to_paid_plan_dashboard_card_shown event

* Attach the site to the blaze_entry_point_displayed event

* Attach the site to the my_site_dashboard_shown event

* Attach the site to the blogging_prompts_my_site_card_viewed event

trackCardViewed is generic across dashboard cards, so this also attaches
the site to jetpack_install_full_plugin_card_viewed.

* Track notifications_accessed with the currently visible site

Switch from currentOrLastBlog() to currentlyVisibleBlog() so the event
carries a blog_id only when a site is actually on screen. When none is,
track it without a site rather than stamping a stale last-used one.

* Remove unused trackBlazeEntryPointDisplayed ObjC bridge

The method has no remaining callers.

* Attach site_type to Jetpack Stats analytics events

Pass the site's BlogAnalyticsProperties snapshot to the Stats bridge
instead of a bare site ID, and track through the canonical blogProperties
path so every Stats event carries site_type alongside blog_id, consistent
with the other site-scoped events.
* Never fall back to plaintext XML-RPC endpoints for https sites

When the entered site address is https, WordPressOrgXMLRPCValidator no
longer probes an http variant of the same host, and any endpoint that
discovery resolves to (via redirects or RSD links) is rejected unless it
is also https. Previously the username and application password were
sent to the http endpoint whenever the https xmlrpc.php probe failed,
and the plaintext endpoint was persisted (GHSA-qxpr-7v78-mh5g).

* Use an https XML-RPC endpoint for https sites at request time

Older app versions could silently downgrade a site's discovered XML-RPC
endpoint to http and persist it, so later XML-RPC traffic and the
credentials it carries crossed plaintext (GHSA-qxpr-7v78-mh5g). Blog.xmlrpcURL
returns the https-upgraded endpoint for an https site, and every credential
bearing XML-RPC client is now built from it (Blog.xmlrpcApi, the Zendesk
profile fetch, and the site settings credential check) instead of the raw
stored value. The persisted xmlrpc and the Keychain keyed by it are left
unchanged, so credential lookups still resolve; only the request endpoint is
upgraded, at the point the client is constructed. This closes the downgrade
regardless of launch timing or store restoration, with no migration pass.

* Prefer the discovered REST API root over the xmlrpc-derived URL for self-hosted sites

`WordPressOrgRestApi(blog:)` built its base URL from `Blog.url(withPath:)`, which
rewrites the raw `xmlrpc` string. An older app version could persist an http `xmlrpc`
endpoint for an https site (GHSA-qxpr-7v78-mh5g), so the self-hosted REST client — and
the application password it carries as a Basic auth header — could be built on http and
sent in plaintext.

Prefer `restApiRootURL`, the root observed during REST discovery (https for an https
site, and always written alongside the application token), falling back to the
xmlrpc-derived `wp-json/` URL only when no discovered root was persisted.
