 Follow up for #55642.

 Syncing stable blocks from the Gutenberg repository to `wordpress-develop`
 is currently a manual process, but it can be automated.

 The proposed workflow:

 1. Read all the block.json files from the `@wordpress/block-library`
 directory.
 2. Pick the ones without `__experimental` restrictions – these are the
 stable blocks.
 3. Use that list to generate PHP code that requires appropriate dynamic
 blocks PHP files.
 4. Use that list to generate PHP code that calls `remove_action` with
 appropriate arguments in PHP unit tests.
 5. Use that list yet again in webpack config, instead of the hardcoded
 one.

 To make the process smooth, require and remove_action calls can be
 extracted to separate PHP files that can be easily autogenerated and
 overwritten:

 - `wp-includes/blocks/require-dynamic-blocks.php`
 - `wp-includes/blocks/require-static-blocks.php`
 - `tests/phpunit/includes/unregister-blocks-hooks.php`
