 Themes: Allow remote pattern registration in `theme.json` when core
 patterns are disabled.

 In 6.0 there is now a functionality that allows to register selected
 remote patterns (from the Pattern Directory) via `theme.json`. However, it
 requires to fully enable all core and remote patterns. This can be a
 blocker for user adoption.

 Many theme authors want to have all core and remote patterns disabled by
 default using `remove_theme_support( 'core-block-patterns' )`. This
 changeset ensures they are serving only patterns relevant to their theme.

 This changeset removes theme support check from the function that
 registers remote patterns specified in `theme.json`. This allows theme
 authors to disable core patterns but then selectively register the ones
 they want from the Pattern Directory. If a theme author intentionally
 specifies patterns in `theme.json`, they probably intend for them to be
 present in the pattern inserter and the check is not required.

 This change will make the Pattern Directory more appealing/usable from the
 theme author's perspective.

 Props ndiego, ryelle.
 Fixes #56112.
