Remove WP_Widget_Block from the legacy dropdown list

[adamziel]

Description

As mentioned in #24290 (comment), this is what happens when you add a legacy widget on the experimental management screen:

Before:

This is undesired, the Block widget shouldn't be visible to the user, it's just an implementation detail to ensure interoperability. This PR removes it from that dropdown like this:

After:

How has this been tested?

• Apply the patch
• Go to experimental Widgets screen
• Add Legacy widget block
• Open the dropdown
• Confirm it's consistent with the After screenshot.

Yup ✈️

@adamziel I wonder, could we make it that the Block widget does not show in the available widgets in the current widgets screen, but still shows up in the areas if used? :) I ask because the WP_Widget_Block adds this "Block" entry that does not provide any action in the current widgets screen.

+1 good idea. It looks like we might need to patch Core to do this, though, as I'm not seeing any filters we can use in wp_list_widgets().

Great idea @draganescu ! I created an issue to track it here: #24849
