Subject: [PATCH] Block Bindings: Add `core/post-data` source.

Add a new Block Bindings source, `core/post-data`, which exposes `date` and `modified` fields for now -- reflecting the publish date and the last modified date of the post, respectively. The source could be subsequently extended to include other fields associated with a post object, such as title, featured image, etc.

Props bernhard-reiter.
Closes #63741.
