To summarize, when a post has no title, the widget should show a few words from the post's body instead of "(no title)".

## Summary

Trac: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65658
See: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/on-this-day-widget/

This adds the same untitled-post fallback used in the posts list table to the On This Day dashboard widget. When a matching post has no title, the widget now appends a trimmed excerpt after (no title) when the current user can read the post and the post is not password protected.

The change keeps protected post excerpts hidden and adds PHPUnit coverage for the trimmed excerpt and password-protected cases.

## Testing

Checkout this PR locally and run npm run env:start, then npm run env:install.
Go to Dashboard (admin:password), you should see the widget.
Insepect its empty state.
Import this file to create backdated posts: filexml
Use the widget.
Update the post to get rid of the title.
It should render (no title) 15 word excerpt.
