Add block patterns to the Widgets editors #26170

Description

@bph

It seems with the omission of the widget title property of widgets, and the replacement of the current core widgets with blocks, that don't have titles, end users will need to use multiple steps to recreate their sidebar units, combining core/block like latest posts or calendar with a heading block (=title) to display in the sidebar.

Now that every block has its widget wrapper this seems to only work well with a group block containing heading block + paragraph block.

With block patterns available via the Inserter, themes and plugins would be able to provide the widgets as a block patterns and help their users with this.
