Dynamic (non-explicitly declared) properties are deprecated as of PHP 8.2 and are expected to become a fatal error in PHP 9.0.
There are a number of ways to mitigate this:
* If it is an accidental typo for a declared property: fix the typo.
* For known properties: declare them on the class.
* For unknown properties: add the magic `__get()`, `__set()`, et al. methods to the class or let the class extend `stdClass` which has highly optimized versions of these magic methods built in.
* For unknown ''use'' of dynamic properties, the `#[AllowDynamicProperties]` attribute can be added to the class. The attribute will automatically be inherited by child classes.
Trac ticket #56034 is open to investigate and handle the third and fourth type of situations, however it has become clear this will need more time and will not be ready in time for WP 6.1.
To reduce “noise” in the meantime, both in the error logs of WP users moving onto PHP 8.2, in the test run logs of WP itself, in test runs of plugins and themes, as well as to prevent duplicate tickets from being opened for the same issue, this commit adds the `#[AllowDynamicProperties]` attribute to all “parent” classes in WP.
The logic used for this commit is as follows:
* If a class already has the attribute: no action needed.
* If a class does not `extend`: add the attribute.
* If a class does `extend`:
- If it extends `stdClass`: no action needed (as `stdClass` supports dynamic properties).
- If it extends a PHP native class: add the attribute.
- If it extends a class from one of WP's external dependencies: add the attribute.
* In all other cases: no action — the attribute should not be needed as child classes inherit from the parent.
Whether or not a class contains magic methods has not been taken into account, as a review of the currently existing magic methods has shown that those are generally not sturdy enough and often even set dynamic properties (which they should not). See the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDZWepDQQVE live stream from August 16, 2022] for more details.
This commit only affects classes in the `src` directory of WordPress core.
* Tests should not get this attribute, but should be fixed to not use dynamic properties instead. Patches for this are already being committed under ticket #56033.
* While a number bundled themes (2014, 2019, 2020, 2021) contain classes, they are not a part of this commit and may be updated separately.

It aligns with the changes proposed added in Gutenberg: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/33293.
The idea here is to split the growing webpack config into two parts: blocks and packages.
We need to add handling for JavaScript files that are going to be used with blocks on the frontend. They didn't work quite well with the current setup for entry points created for packages.
As part of the effort, it adds support for `viewScript` in `block.json` metadata file that is later translated to `$view_script` in `WP_Block_Type` class and exposed as `view_script` from the REST API endpoint for block types.

Add a reference to `WP_Block_Type::__construct()` for information on accepted arguments in `register_block_type()`.
Synchronize the documentation between several places, use `WP_Block_Type::__construct()` as the canonical source.

The new block editor included in 5.6 introduces an api_version property
that indicates which block API version the block is using.
This commits makes this property available on the block type and the endpoint.

- Skips validation where there is no attribute definition, but keeps the attribute value. Previously, the attribute would be omitted from the attributes passed to `render_callback`. Notably, this resolves an issue where `render_callback` cannot receive a block's `align` and `customClassName` attribute values, since these are defined as a client-side filter.
- Validates `null` as a proper value in its own right. Previously, a client implementation of a block could track `{“attribute":null}` as an explicitly empty value, and the server would wrongly initiate defaulting behavior. The new behavior will now only populate a default value if the attribute is not defined at all, including when unset in its being invalid per the attribute schema.

These are the foundational classes allowing blocks to be registered and used throughout WordPress.
This commit also includes the `has_block()` and `has_blocks()` functions, which are required for unit testing these classes.
