 This is a follow-up to #54578.

 In #54578, the Live Preview button was removed from a couple of places for
 block themes since the site editor preview was not working when previewing
 from classic themes. It was decided to remove the Live Preview button from
 block themes until it was implemented in Gutenberg
 (https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/37201) to enable the site
 editor for non-active block themes. That feature has been implemented, and
 now Live Preview works for block themes. We should show the Live Preview
 button for block themes again.

 Steps:
 1. Install a block theme like TwentyTwentyFive
 2. Go to Appearance -> Themes
 3. Click on the TwentyTwentyFive theme
 4. There is only the Active button instead of having Live Preview and
 Active

 1. Upload a block theme like TwentyTwentyFive
 2. After the theme is uploaded, there is no Live Preview button
