 I am opening this ticket tentatively to add the PHP changes from this
 Gutenberg PR:
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/64167 Query loop / Post
 template: Enable post format filter]

 At the time of opening this issue, this linked PR has not yet been
 approved, and this ticket should not be committed.
 I expect that there will be some additional changes to the PR.

 I could use help with adding a better summary (ticket title) and clearer
 description, but I will try my best.


 The Gutenberg PR linked above adds a new filter to the Query Loop block,
 that the user can use to display posts (or other post types) that have
 post formats assigned.

 The PR adds a new parameter called 'format' to the class
 {{{WP_REST_Posts_Controller}}}. Changes are made to these class methods:
 get_item and get_collection_params.

 'Format' is also added to the function
 {{{build_query_vars_from_query_block}}}, which is used to display the
 correct posts on the front.

 == Testing instructions

 How to test the post formats filter without the rest of the Gutenberg
 changes.

 First, please enable post formats on the active theme. Example:
 {{{
 function twentytwentyfour_post_formats() {
         add_theme_support( 'post-formats', array( 'aside', 'gallery',
 'link', 'image', 'quote', 'status', 'video', 'audio', 'chat' ) );
 }
 add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'twentytwentyfour_post_formats' );
 }}}

 On your WordPress test install, create a few posts with and without
 formats assigned.

 In the Site Editor or block editor, insert a query loop with a format
 filter.
 In this example, I have used the gallery post format. I have added
 {{{"format":["gallery"]}}} inside {{{query}}}:

 {{{
 <!-- wp:query
 {"query":{"perPage":10,"pages":0,"offset":0,"postType":"post","order":"desc","orderBy":"date","author":"","search":"","exclude":[],"sticky":"","inherit":true,"format":["gallery"]}}
 -->
 <div class="wp-block-query">
     <!-- wp:post-template -->
     <!-- wp:post-title /-->
     <!-- /wp:post-template -->
 </div>
 <!-- /wp:query -->
 }}}


 In the editor, the query loop should only display posts with the gallery
 post format.

 Next, change the format to standard:

 {{{
 <!-- wp:query
 {"query":{"perPage":10,"pages":0,"offset":0,"postType":"post","order":"desc","orderBy":"date","author":"","search":"","exclude":[],"sticky":"","inherit":true,"format":["standard"]}}
 -->
 <div class="wp-block-query">
     <!-- wp:post-template -->
     <!-- wp:post-title /-->
     <!-- /wp:post-template -->
 </div>
 <!-- /wp:query -->
 }}}

 In the editor, the query loop should only display posts that have no post
 format assigned.

 On the front, the query loop does not show any results: I am still
 figuring out if this is because part of the block changes are missing or
 if there are problems with {{{build_query_vars_from_query_block}}} in this
 PR.
