 If this other ticket to add a label argument goes forward, it opens the
 possibility of setting the show_in_rest argument to true by default when
 the new potential label argument is defined. With the introduction of a
 new human-readable argument, which hasn't been used before, it could make
 sense to expose it automatically in the REST API.

 While working on block bindings, part of the feedback received is that
 people need to remember to set `show_in_rest` to true.

 Basically, these are the use cases:

 - If `show_in_rest` is defined, that value is always respected.
 - No label and no `show_in_rest`: It keeps working as before and uses
 `show_in_rest` false, which is the default. This is a pretty common use
 case right now.
 - Defined label and no `show_in_rest`: It sets `show_in_rest` to true.
 This would be the change introduced.
