 In #52688 @gwwar added support for `variations` for block types. They are
 also exposed with the REST APi endpoint for blocks. The last remaining
 tasks is to add support `variations` handling for `block.json` file when
 processing with `register_block_type`. We postponed it initially because
 there are 3 fields for every translation that need to be translated. It's
 more complex than `styles`:

 develop/blob/fb7ecd92acef6c813c1fde6d9d24a21e02340689/src/wp-
 includes/blocks.php#L255-L270

 Ideally, we reuse the schema used in JavaScript:

 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/trunk/packages/blocks/src/api
 /i18n-block.json

 and port the implementation used there that works with the schema making
 future changes a simple change in the config file:
