 **Background:**

 In [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/19279 GB#19279] (issue
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/11406 GB11406]), the
 default set of block categories was updated.

 The new set of block categories are:

 - Text
 - Media
 - Design
 - Widgets
 - Embeds
 - Reusable

 Of the above, a few have remained unchanged: Widgets, Embeds, Reusable.

 Mappings have been added to ensure that existing blocks will be assigned
 to as close as possible to an equivalent category in the new set:

 - Common → Text
 - Formatting → Text
 - Layout → Design

 **Task:**

 The default set of block categories implemented in Core PHP should be
 updated to correspond to these revisions.

 This array:
