 Build: Split packages and blocks to their webpack configs

 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.

 Props youknowriad, desrosj, aristath.
 Fixes #53690.
