Widget editor calls get_block_categories() with incorrect arg type

Description

Just updated to 5.8.0 and found a couple issues with the new block widget editor while fixing all the new deprecated filters related to blocks.

\wp-admin\widgets-form-blocks.php:55
sprintf( 'wp.blocks.setCategories( %s );', wp_json_encode( get_block_categories( 'widgets-editor' ) ) ),

\wp-includes\class-wp-customize-widgets.php:865
sprintf( 'wp.blocks.setCategories( %s );', wp_json_encode( get_block_categories( 'widgets-customizer' ) ) ),

In these two places, get_block_categories() is being passed a string instead of the required WP_Post or WP_Block_Editor_Context instance. The string is causing a fatal error due to the type hinting on my function for the block_categories_all filter.

Good catch. It looks like we should replace 'widgets-customizer' and 'widgets-editor' with $block_editor_context variable on both files.
