Message:

Editor: Allow registering block type collections with a single function call.

[59132] introduced the wp_register_block_metadata_collection() function and underlying WP_Block_Metadata_Registry class to allow central registration of a block metadata PHP manifest file in favor of parsing individual JSON files. While this improves performance, it only increases the amount of APIs and code that plugin developers need to use to register their block types properly.

This changeset introduces a new function wp_register_block_types_from_metadata_collection() that improves the developer experience of registering block types from a single source, by handling it in only a single function call.

Developers that already use a generated block metadata PHP manifest file (e.g. via the wp-scripts build-blocks-manifest tool) can now call wp_register_block_types_from_metadata_collection() with that file to automatically register all block types from that block metadata collection. Individual calls to register_block_type() or register_block_type_from_metadata() are no longer necessary when the new function is used.

Fixes #62267.
