Enable the ability to customize placeholder content for blocks #40073

What problem does this address?

There isn't a way to customize placeholder content in the site editor. For example, perhaps for a client you might want to use the placeholders as a way to guide them through creating a new template based on their specific site. This came up during the 6.0 walk through.

What is your proposed solution?

Explore a mechanism to customize placeholders. This might be something to explore initially from a block themer perspective perhaps by allowing for customizations in the files for templates or template parts. Unclear :)

Because it’s a great example, I'm inlining most of Will’s https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/25457#issuecomment-2161535629 on the other issue:

…for example in the following pattern where we have templateLock turned on for editors, the placeholder is misleading and because of the large font size, t's a bit jarring for users to come across.
