Cleaning up the block categories within the Block Inserter. This PR moves the following blocks from the Design category to the Theme category, based on the intended usage of the blocks.

I wonder if "Theme" could be confused as meaning "provided by your theme."

I wonder if "Theme" could be confused as meaning "provided by your theme."

My first thought was similar back when the category was created in #30016, but categories should not address a block's origin but their content; similarly, we don't have a "plugins" category.

Looks good to me. In #30016 it was suggested to leave widget-like blocks (Site Logo, Title, etc) in the widgets section, so waiting for @mtias to confirm.

As a side note, if we do move these blocks to "Themes" we will have:

  • Posts List block under "Themes"
  • Latest Posts and Page List blocks under "Widgets".

Having these similarly named blocks in different categories can be confusing for users, but I don't think this should be a blocker as these widget blocks might be replaced in the future by more Query block variations (#32332).
