Setup Content Block plugin updates through product info service

[ChrisWiegman]

User Story

As a WPGraphQL Content Blocks user, I want to have auto updates so that I don’t have to go back to GitHub each time.

We will serve product updates from WP Engine's wp-product-info service.

Acceptance Criteria

• [x] Plugin is added and configured in wp-product-info service
• [ ] Repo and main plugin file are renamed (see first comment below)
• [x] Plugin code retrieves update information from wp-product-info and passes it to WP
• [x] Releases are automated and pushed to wp-product-info
• [x] Updates for major breaking versions (semver) require the user confirm they want to install the update

Technical Details

wp-product-info is documented here

The following plugins have good examples of integrating: Interview API, Atlas Headless Extension, ACM.

Notes

There might be a CircleCI requirement still in place for this but we don’t believe it should apply to our public repo. We can use CircleCI if it is required for this step.

Update: we decided not to rename the plugin.

Note: we are considering renaming the repo and main plugin file to align with wp.org standards, because at some point we may release this plugin there.

In this case, because wp.org does not allow plugin slugs prefixed with wp-, we would: - rename the repo from wp-graphql-content-blocks to wpgraphql-content-blocks (removing the - after wp) - rename the main plugin file from wp-graphql-content-blocks.php to wpgraphql-content-blocks.php (again removing the - after wp).

If anyone has thoughts or concerns about this change, please let us know.
