Post Content Block: Disable when editing content (server-side approach)

[ockham]

Description

Tentative partial fix for #22080; alternative to #24006: Remove the Post Content block when editing content, in order to prevent blockception (an infinite recursion of the Post Content block embedding the current post content, which includes itself, and so on).

How has this been tested?

• Verify that in the Post Editor, the Post Content Block is no longer available from the block inserter.
• Verify that in the Site Editor, the Post Content Block is still longer available from the block inserter.
• Verify that in the Template and Template Part Editors (found in the Appearance menu), the Post Block is still available from the inserter.
• Verify that the Post Content Block isn't available in the Widgets and Navigation Editors, and that no errors are thrown in the console. (Your have to enable those editors on the Gutenberg > Experiments wp-admin page first; this will enable the corresponding menu items in the Gutenberg menu.)

Blockers

Can't apply_filters( 'allowed_block_types', true, $post ); in lib/edit-site-page.php since no $post object is available 😕 (and if it was, it'd only represent the initially loaded template, not the ones that the user might switch to later). We'd need to query block types via the REST API (see #21065), and the filter would need to applied there (#24076).
