 Widgets: Stop loading `wp-editor` and the Block Directory assets on the
 widgets screen.

 When using the text widget, a `wp.editor.initialize is not a function`
 notice is encountered. This happens when `wp-editor` is loaded as a
 dependency, which assigns `wp.oldEditor = wp.editor` and then redefines
 `wp.editor`.

 `wp-editor` is only used for the Classic block, which is not supported in
 the new widgets editor. [51198-51199] updated `@wordpress/block-library`
 to remove `wp-editor` as a dependency, but it’s still listed as a
 dependency of the `wp-block-directory` script handle.

 Since the Block directory is not supported within the widgets editor, the
 related assets can safely be blocked from enqueueing.

 Props noisysocks, gziolo, Mamaduka, mkaz.
 Fixes #53437. See #53397.
