 In [changeset:"59731" 59731]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="59731"
 Editor: Relax restrictions around registration of block metadata
 collections.

 This changeset allows for block metadata collections to be registered for
 almost any source, such as MU plugins, themes, or custom directories with
 e.g. symlinked plugins or symlinked themes. Prior to the change, block
 metadata collections could only be registered for plugins and WordPress
 Core.

 There are still safeguards in place to prevent registration of collections
 in locations that would cause conflicts. For example, it is not possible
 to register a collection for the entire wp-content/plugins directory or
 the entire wp-content/themes directory, since such a collection would
 conflict with any specific plugin's or theme's collection. In case
 developers would like to enable this safeguard for their own custom
 directories, they can use the new
 wp_allowed_block_metadata_collection_roots filter.

 Merges [59730] to the 6.7 branch.
