Documentation

The main point of this MR is to bring the REST API into feature and code parity with the GraphQL API with with respect to CAPTCHA, which is one of the tasks being performed by ~"group::editor" prior to handoff of the CAPTCHA support to the owner of the feature, ~"group::authentication and authorization". There is a placeholder task to add documentation for this new REST API functionality in the epic (https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5527#consistently-support-captcha-via-graphql-and-rest-api), but that can be appropriately prioritized by the group ~"group::authentication and authorization" relative to all other tasks in that epic.
