 We've been noticing a large # of requests going directly to /wp-content
 /wp-includes/blocks/index.php with a user-agent containing "python".

 The error being thrown is:

 Uncaught exception 'Error' with message 'Undefined constant "ABSPATH"' in
 /var/www/wp-includes/blocks/index.php:8

 This PR should prevent this.
