 This ticket is here to track the backport of
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/36548 implemented in
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/36647

 The idea is to use "templates" and "parts" as folders instead of "block-
 templates" and "block-template-parts" for block themes while retaining
 backward compatibility for the latter.

 While there are already themes that use the previous folders here, we
 prefer to update the folders while the number of themes is small 20/30
 early adopters to ensure consistency in theme folders for all FSE themes
 (we expect a far bigger number in the future).

 Existing FSE themes will continue to work properly without any change,
 backward compatibility for the previous folders will be kept.

 Delaying this change to 6.0 would be more impactful since more themes
 would exist at that point and plugins might start relying on the presence
 of the old folders.
