Fix Nav block editing wrong entity on creation of new Menu #36880

Description

In #36862 we learnt that if you use the Create new buttons within the Nav block UI to create a new Menu you can end up causing edits to the wrong wp_navigation entity.

How does this happen? Scenario:

  • you have an existing Nav block with an existing entity that is being edited
  • you click Create new drop the Select menu dropdown on the block
  • at this point the code tries to reset the inner blocks of the block and give you a fresh wp_navigation entity for editing.
  • to do this it calls replaceInnerBlocks but it does this before the entity is set to the freshly created one. Instead it ends up calling replaceBlocks and the existing entity picks up the changes and gets marked as "dirty"
  • this process isn't obvious to the user as all the blocks are nicely reset in the UI and everything looks good
  • the users starts adding blocks and then hits Save in the Site Editor only to find they now have to save both the new and the original Nav Post entities

This PR fixes that by moving the reseting of the inner blocks to an effect which runs if the ref to the wp_navigation Post is reset. This way we ensure we have completely "unloaded" the current entity before we reset the blocks in the UI.

⚠️ I worked on this late in my day so it will need some careful testing and reviewing to ensure I'm not introducing errors.

Closes #36862

How has this been tested?

  • Delete all Navigation Menu posts.
  • Go to Site Editor and add a Nav block.
  • Add a few items.
  • Save the Site Editor - you should see single Nav entity is being saved. Take note of the name of the entity.
  • Go back to Nav block and click Select menu -> Create new.
  • When the block is ready start adding new items.
  • Save the Site Editor - you should see only a single Nav entity is being saved. It should be different from the one you originally created.

I think we've introduced a bug here with dirty entity states as the test is failing because the header template part has changes when loading the Site Editor.

I added an additional check for && innerBlocks.length > 0 to fix that test. Let's see what it does to all the other ones 🤞 @getdave

Do we now need to add innerBlocks to the deps?
