Description

Originally reported in https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/36830.

---

### Description

currently it's not possible to change widgets before_title from <h2> to <h4> when you use new gutenberg widgets environment and legacy widgets like nav_menu
it's calling the_widget with $arg without any apply_filter in wp-includes/blocks/legacy-widget.php

### Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Go to /wp-admin/widgets.php
  2. add Legacy Widget - Navigation Menu
  3. Enter some title
  4. On frontend it will be rendered as <h2> but there is no way how to change it to something else, like <h4> - no hook

Adding a new the_widget_args filter to the_widget makes sense to me.

$args = apply_filters( 'the_widget_args', $args, $instance, $widget );
