 In [changeset:"59874" 59874]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="59874"
 Editor: Allow registering block type collections with a single function
 call.

 [59132] introduced the `wp_register_block_metadata_collection()` function
 and underlying `WP_Block_Metadata_Registry` class to allow central
 registration of a block metadata PHP manifest file in favor of parsing
 individual JSON files. While this improves performance, it only increases
 the amount of APIs and code that plugin developers need to use to register
 their block types properly.

 This changeset introduces a new function
 `wp_register_block_types_from_metadata_collection()` that improves the
 developer experience of registering block types from a single source, by
 handling it in only a single function call.

 Developers that already use a generated block metadata PHP manifest file
 (e.g. via the `wp-scripts build-blocks-manifest` tool) can now call
 `wp_register_block_types_from_metadata_collection()` with that file to
 automatically register all block types from that block metadata
 collection. Individual calls to `register_block_type()` or
 `register_block_type_from_metadata()` are no longer necessary when the new
 function is used.

 Fixes #62267.
 See #62002.
