--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Currently user pattern categories and block pattern categories are merged
 in a number of places in the editor front end. It makes sense to do tis in
 a single place and the block-patterns/categories endpoint seems the
 obvious place to do that.

 There is a Gutenberg PR
 (https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/55822) that adds the user
 pattern categories only if the `source` query param is specified and
 includes `user`.

 Also added is a new `id` field as this is needed to map the user
 categories back to the taxonomy terms in certain parts of the UI. This
 field is only returned if `id` is explicitly requeste in the _fields
 param.

 To see the added data the endpoint has to be called with `params _fields:
 'name,label,description, id'` and `source: [ 'core', 'user' ]`.

 There is a related core PR (https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/5621) but this should only be merged once the GB PR is
 finalised and approved.
