Add documentation for "Page creation Block Patterns"

[fabiankaegy]

In WordPress 6.0 we've gained the ability to define block patterns as "post-content" patterns. If more than 2 of them are registered the user will be presented with a Modal that allows them to choose from all the post content patterns so that they don't have to choose from a blank slate.

This feature right now does not jet support custom post types in any way but is already very useful for Pages.

Start content patterns for all post types

With WordPress 6.0, developers were able to add patterns that appear in a modal each time a new page was created, thus allowing the user to start from a set of pre-made patterns instead of a blank state. In WordPress 6.1, this feature is expanded to all the post types. To use this feature, one should include core/post-content in the blockTypes array (same as what happened for pages) and include the desired postTypes where the modal should appear in a newly introduced postTypes property. If postTypes are specified, the pattern is only available on the post types that were set.

Example:

register_block_pattern(
   'custom-pattern',
   array(
       'title'       => _x( 'Start post pattern', 'Block pattern title', 'gutenberg' >),
       'blockTypes'  => array( 'core/paragraph', 'core/post-content' ),
       'postTypes'   => array( 'product' >),
       'content'     => '<!-- wp:paragraph --><p>A start post pattern</p><!-- /wp:paragraph -->',
   )
);
