Description
Background: #35497, #46591, #47359.
[45136] removed post format icons from the posts list table.
For some users, as noted in comment:52:ticket:35497, these icons were a convenient way to quickly distinguish posts with a format from standard posts.
Use case: when most of the posts have a non-standard format, you'd like check if there are any posts where you accidentally forgot to assign a format.
Even with the new Formats filter introduced in [44961], that's no longer possible, as it does not have a Standard option. This seems a bit inconsistent with the Categories filter, where you can filter by Uncategorized.

The Formats filter dropdown in the admin posts list table did not have a "Standard" option, so users could not filter for posts without an assigned post format. This was inconsistent with the Categories filter (which has an "Uncategorized" option) and removed a workflow that existed before the formats dropdown was introduced — distinguishing standard posts from formatted ones.
Added a "Standard" option that uses a NOT EXISTS tax_query to correctly find posts without a format.

The filter still does not have an option for Standard format.
