returned array even for blocks

Component:  Media        |    Version:  6.6.2

-------------------------+-----------------------------
 As of WP 6.6.2, the return value of get_post_galleries(), if used in non-
 HTML mode, is reduced to image IDs and image-URLs when parsed from gallery
 blocks, but includes all additional attributes when parsed from short-
 code. Having information like number of columns or image size is helpful
 for theme design. So it is derirable to include this additional
 information in the returned array.
 In its simplest form this can be done by just merging the array
 {{{$block['attrs']}}}:
 {{{
         $galleries[] = $block['attrs'] + array(
                 'ids' => implode( ',', $ids ),
                 'src' => $srcs,
         );
 }}}
 for the new Gallery block format (line 5156 in media.php) and
 {{{
         $galleries[] = $block['attrs'] + array(
         //      'ids' => implode( ',', $ids ),
                 'src' => $srcs,
         );
 }}}
 for the Old Gallery block format (line 5183 in media.php).

 Moreover to design it future-proof, it might be wise to unify the names
 and the possible set of allowed values of the included attributes across
 the 3 sources shortcode, gallery block V1 and gallery block V2. For
 example, the attributes\\
   'link':'file' (from shortcode) and 'LinkTo':'media' (from gallery block
 V2)\\
 should appear identically in the output array.
