New description:

 Some plugins remove the Custom Fields meta box, overriding whether the CPT
 has set the `postcustom` feature.

 When this is the case, the block editor Options dialog shouldn't show an
 option to display the Custom Fields meta box.

Comment:

 [attachment:"45282.diff"] removes the `enableCustomFields` setting from
 the editor settings, based on whether the Custom Fields meta box exists or
 not.

 It can be tested with this snippet:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', function() {
         remove_meta_box( 'postcustom', false, 'normal' );
 } );
 }}}

 This patch requires changes in the relevant `@wordpress` package to hide
 the option when `enableCustomFields` is undefined.
