#64778: get_block_editor_theme_styles() doesn't load editor styles of parent theme

If a parent block theme uses `add_editor_style( 'style-editor.css' );` and
the child theme too, the `style-editor.css` of the parent theme is no
longer loaded. This is unexpected and different from classic themes.
`get_editor_stylesheets()` looks in the parent theme as well while
`get_block_editor_theme_styles()` uses `get_theme_file_path()` which
searches in the stylesheet directory before the template directory.
The current workaround is to use a different file name in the child theme.
