Backport: Navigation Post Preloading in Site Editor

[get_dave]

This ticket is to track the work to backport the preloading of Navigation Posts in the Site Editor.

See ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/51077

Adds a navigation.php file to hold all hooks/utilites relating to Navigation in the Block Editor.

Backports over the preloading hook for Navigation Posts.

I have several changes related to "Navigation" in 6.3. These don't currently reside in the same file in the Gutenberg Plugin.

Is it better to:

• Combine all these files into a single file for inclusion in Core?
• Retain individual files for individual sub-features of the "Navigation" feature?

@getdave This new file needs to be loaded in wp-settings.php

@get_dave The PR you have doesn't make sense in core.

Instead of using that filter, just adding the new paths ​here. New need for a filter or new file.

Understood. My first time doing backports. Let me get this sorted.

@getdave See my feedback on trac ticket before continuing.

Preload paths for Navigation have now be inlined directly in the Site Editor file as per recommendations.

Not sure what's going on with the CI tests here.

I believe I now wait for a Core Committer to merge this?

Yes! If @tellthemachines can't get to it today, hopefully someone will sweep in tonight and commit.

Thanks again!

Converting to a task as this can ship after beta 1 is released.
