 The new `wp_block` post type for reusable blocks is currently mapped to
 the `post` post types capabilities, including some work-arounds in
 `map_meta_cap()` for the purpose.

 To allow for custom roles limiting users to editing/reading certain post
 types (for example a "Page Editor" or "Photo manager") these ought to have
 their own capabilities, consistent with other built in post types.

 This will also allow web site owners to customize existing roles; for
 example to allow authors to edit another user's reusable blocks or for
 contributors to create them.

 Follow up from #45098.
