#64006: Usermeta not stored for super-admin

 On a multisite context, a super-admin has access to all websites of the
 multisite but the user is not added as a user of the website.

 As a result, in a block editor context, if we update a user_meta for a
 super admin, the route http://localhost:8888/sub-site/wp-
 json/wp/v2/users/me is returning a 404 error.

 In Polylang Pro, we're updating a usermeta according to settings on a post
 edit page. This setting is not stored in the super-admin usermeta.

 The workaround we have found is to manually add the super-admin as an
 existing user on the subsite to make the route available.

 We think, a super-admin should be automatically added as Administrator on
 each website of the network.
