Proposed changes:

Revert #39604.

Conditional registration was added to address perceived performance
issues, rather than actual performance issues. The changes were made
to reduce the total number of Jetpack hooks and associated functions.
While unnecessarily enqueueing assets comes at a network cost,
registration should not, in theory, incur such a cost. Registration is a
light-weight operation.

Conditionally registered assets are problematic as they are difficult to
query globally. If an asset is conditionally registered within a
specific context, it will be unavailable outside of that context. E.g.,
a REST API endpoint is unable to query an asset conditionally registered
within WP Admin.
