When a post title is empty, show post excerpt/content snippet as fallback alongside (no title) #78897

Description

@andrewserong

This issue is a Gutenberg equivalent of a core trac ticket that proposes updating the post list so that posts without a title don't just show (no title) but also show a snippet of the excerpt or post content to help identify titleless posts.

There are many places where the fallback (no title) is hard-coded, so this might not be a simple one to fix! But here are some examples where this behaviour would be useful.

When going to select a page parent. Currently it shows the post id which technically helps identify, but not in a human-friendly way 😄
