Add Latest Gallery Items block with multiple layout options

circuitcipherrequested to merge
issue/media_gallery-3543669:3543669--latest-gallery-items-block into 3.1.x

This introduces a new "Latest Gallery Items" block that provides a configurable way to display a feed of the most recent media items from across all galleries.

Key changes:

  • A new block plugin, LatestGalleryItemsBlock, is added. This block can be placed anywhere on the site to show the latest media.

  • A new MediaGalleryLayout plugin type has been created to allow for different visual presentations of the media items within the block. The initial layouts provided are:

    • Grid
    • Featured Image Grid
    • Horizontal
    • Vertical
    • Swiper

  • The block's configuration form allows administrators to choose which layout to use and configure its specific settings. An AJAX-powered UI provides layout previews and a better administrative experience.

  • New services, libraries, CSS, and icons have been added to support the new block and layout system.

  • Comprehensive test coverage is included, with new kernel tests for the block's logic and functional JavaScript tests to ensure the administrative UI works as expected.
