 The Gutenberg publish/schedule panel does not fully respect the site's
 configured.

 **Steps to Reproduce: **
 1. Go to Dashboard → Settings → General
 2. Set **Time Format** to: {{{g:i a}}}
 3. Open the Block Editor (Gutenberg)
 4. Check the Publish/Schedule panel time selector.

 **Expected Result:**
 The time selector should display lowercase am/pm because the selected PHP
 time format uses lowercase {{{a}}}.

 Example:
 {{{12:32 pm}}}

 **Actual Result:**
 The Gutenberg publish panel displays uppercase {{{AM/PM}}} instead.

 Example:
 {{{12:32 PM}}}

 **Additional Notes:**

 When using {{{g:i A}}}, uppercase {{{AM/PM}}} is correct.
 When using {{{H:i}}}, the editor should use 24-hour format without
 {{{AM/PM}}}.
