Patterns & pattern directory

In a future version of WordPress there will be a block pattern directory.

Users of the block editor, template editor and Site Editor will be able to choose from a whole variety of patterns.

Once loaded a pattern can then be saved as part of the post content or as a reusable block, a template-part or even a template.

This will make sites a lot easier to construct, even with minimal themes.

I’m experimenting with a plugin that will register patterns in .htm files found in a theme’s `block-templates` folder.

I think I’ve found an infinite recursion bug when the pattern loaded contains the post-content block.
