 Add a new function to check if a Widget/Block is active into a sidebar

 Some of our Legacy Widgets are being displayed only if active they have
 been included into a Sidebar Widget. We are using the `is_active_widget()`
 WordPress function to check whether it is the case or not. This function
 doesn't fit in the Widget Blocks case as all Blocks are being inserted
 into the specific `WP_Widget_Block` widget.

 As WordPress 5.8 doesn't provide any equivalent (so far?), we are
 introducing a new function to do this check:
 `bp_is_widget_block_active()`. It takes 2 optional arguments.
 - `$block_name`: the name of the block you need to check (eg:
 `'bp/members'`).
 - `$widget_id_base`: the Base ID of the widget (eg:
 `'bp_messages_sitewide_notices_widget'`).

 You can use it to check a block, a widget or both.

 Fixes #8515
