#56082: Block editor does not unset changed/dirty flag for nested types

 Edit a template and change a template parts or Reusable blocks. Go to save
 and there is an expected prompt to save the component. Don't save. Ctrl-Z
 to undo the change. The main template being edited still shows the Save
 button enabled, and on Save the component is still showing as changed.

 Uncheck to Not save the component. Edit another template. The Save button
 remains enabled because the component is still "floating around" with the
 unsaved flag set.

 The only way to clear this seems to be to simply re-save any template that
 includes the component, for a net effect of no change ...  but this will
 still be recorded as a change, where the site is logging activity, even if
 just with a new timestamp.

 The problem: The user doesn't know if they have actually changed a
 component, and potentially affected a large number of existing published
 posts. The "are you sure" prompt is asking the user if they are sure they
 want to make such a change when there actually is no change being made.

 Expected behavior: The UnDo feature, and exiting without saving, should
 unset the dirty flag on any block or nested block or template where the
 current version equals the original.
