Impact for modules providing entity types that have REST test coverage

Improved test coverage, for tests classes which subclass \Drupal\Tests\rest\Functional\EntityResource\EntityResourceTestBase:

Before
  protected static $patchProtectedFieldNames = [
    'revision_timestamp',
    'revision_uid',
    'created',
    'changed',
    'promote',
    'sticky',
    'path',
  ];
After
  protected static $patchProtectedFieldNames = [
    'revision_timestamp' => NULL,
    'revision_uid' => NULL,
    'created' => "The 'administer nodes' permission is required.",
    'changed' => NULL,
    'promote' => "The 'administer nodes' permission is required.",
    'sticky' => "The 'administer nodes' permission is required.",
    'path' => "The following permissions are required: 'create url aliases' OR 'administer url aliases'.",
  ];
