Twenty Twenty-Three: In "Blog (alternative)" template, make post titles links

[Bernhard Reiter]

The Twenty Twenty-Three theme has a custom page template called "Blog (alternative)", which displays blog posts "in a list format with the date on the left and the post title on the right" (as per ​docs.

Currently, those post title blocks are not set to be links -- as a consequence, a visitor to a page using that template cannot click on any on them -- which is likely contrary to expectations.

The manual fix is to enable the Post Title block's "Make title a link" toggle -- but I'm wondering if this shouldn't be the default setting?

This changes the template to turn the post title blocks into links.

Hi @bernhard-reiter,
I tested your PR and as well as making sense it works.

Twenty Twenty-Three: In page template, make post titles links.

In the "Blog (alternative)" page template, turn post titles into links. This is to better align with user expectations that individual post titles in a blog-like list of recent posts will be links to the corresponding blog posts.

Props scruffian.
Fixes #57175.
