Widget Customizer: Introduce customizer processing state

Description

When a widget is updated in the customizer, it submits the widget form via Ajax to pass the fields through the widget's update callback to validate the instance; this Ajax response supplies the value to then be set in the customizer's setting. Thus unlike other setting updates, the updating of a widget's setting is an asynchronous process and the Customizer needs to introduce a method for preventing a race condition when saving such settings which require server-side validation/processing to obtain the setting value to submit.

Originally reported on #27112:

I also saw what I believe to be an unrelated issue: if I make a change to a widget, say its title, leaving focus in the input and then immediately click "Save & Publish" the setting does not get saved, even though I can see it in the preview. If I first click out of the input (blur) and then click "Save & Publish", the setting gets updated as expected. It sticks. I'll do more investigation.

In 27540:

Customizer: Introduce a processing state.

The processing state will prevent a save when it doesn't return 0.
Widget Customizer will use the state to prevent a save while a widget is updating, which is an asynchronous process.
