 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="53903"
 Themes: Allow remote pattern registration in theme.json when core patterns
 are disabled.

 In 6.0 there is now a functionality that allows to register selected
 remote patterns (from the Pattern Directory) via `theme.json`. However, it
 requires to fully enable all core and remote patterns. This can be a
 blocker for user adoption.

 Many theme authors want to have all core and remote patterns disabled by
 default using `remove_theme_support( 'core-block-patterns' )`. This
 changeset ensures they are serving only patterns relevant to their theme.

 It removes theme support check from the function that registers remote
 patterns specified in `theme.json`. This allows theme authors to disable
 core patterns but then selectively register the ones they want from the
 Pattern Directory. If a theme author intentionally specifies patterns in
 `theme.json`, they probably intend for them to be present in the pattern
 inserter and the check is not required.

 This change will make the Pattern Directory more appealing/usable from a
 theme author's perspective.

 Props ndiego, ryelle, audrasjb.
 Merges [53793] to the 6.0 branch.
 Fixes #56112.
