Interactivity API - SSR won't work if ant render_block_data filter edits $parsed_block

Description (last modified by cbravobernal)

As commented in ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/59057#discussion_r1518417589

If someone edits the $parsed_block variable, it will fail within the Interactivity API SSR processing comparison:
​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/9a616a573434b432a5efd4de21039250658371fe/src/wp-includes/interactivity-api/interactivity-api.php#L49

It seems that this comparison won't be needed in 6.6, as a md5 bug did not allow to add keys to that variable.

I don't have enough insight to tell whether the priority 20, 99, or PHP_INT_MAX would work better here. The final approach should most likely impact the render_block_* filter used in this function as it uses exactly the same reasoning:

​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/3c2a87e2aeb71d20f72b4f94b15e1caf803e8f21/src/wp-includes/interactivity-api/interactivity-api.php#L60-L63

One important aspect to keep in mind is that we have been talking about when HTML API is capable of processing all HTML tags, we could explore running all the processing in a single pass based on the HTML output generated for the <body> tag in the document. In that case, we wouldn't need to use these filters. Anyway, we are still not there and we would also have to confirm that the performance is equal or improved before switching to that approach.

In 57826:

Interactivity API: Increase hook priority for processing directives.

Use a priority of 100 to ensure that other filters can add additional directives before the processing starts.
This way, directives will be processed even if the $parsed_block variable is edited by a filter.

By the way, the changes were synced back to the Gutenberg plugin, which resolved some issues with e2e tests. That confirms that this fix is important.
