Update wp-scripts and test with WordPress 6.6.2

[bobbingwide]

UK-tides blocks is currently delivered with one entry point /build/index.js. wp-scripts has been improved considerably. It now supports multiple blocks per plugin. UK tides doesn't need multiple blocks... but I may be moving the JavaScript source to another plugin that performs the build. So I need to build it the same way as other blocks which do have multiple entry points.

Requirement

• Update uk-tides to benefit from improvements to wp-scripts from the @wordpress/scripts package
• Simplify / reduce the code needed to support internationalization
• Register the block so that only the required code is loaded for the blocks that are used.
• Understand what's needed to enqueue the required CSS in the block editor and on the front end.

Process

• Update wp-scripts using npm run packages-update
• Change webpack.config.js to deliver the UK-tides entry point.
• Change block.json file to refer to the appropriate entry-point and CSS
• Mark src/index.js as superceded
• Enable internationalisation
• Update server logic for the new entry point
  • Call wp_set_script_translations() for the block's editor-script
  • Build using npm run dev
  • Build the language files: npm run makepot, npm run l10n, npm run makejson
• Test

For plugins which have already been changed refer to the code changes in

Interestingly, since UK-tides only had one entry point, the build worked without having to create a webpack.config.js file. But when I moved block.json from the plugin's root directory the build failed with the same messages I got for other plugins.
