Query Loop Block: Continued iteration on bundled patterns

[annezazu]

We need a query pattern of a grid of featured images as a starting point. We need much more optionality on query patterns in general.

Pulled from #48443 and a follow up to #44140

cc @richtabor in case you have time to work on this.

I'll see what I can do, though last I experimented the blockGap limitation (#44899) was making it difficult to get spacing right in a grid layout.

I'm thinking #49050 might be helpful to move this forward, but it needs a bit of input on how we want the columns behaviour in the grid template to work. The V1 of grid layout only allows setting a minimum column width, not a number of columns, but has the advantage of better responsivity out of the box vs the current solution. Using the grid layout will also allow us to easily add block spacing, which would fix #44899.

Post Template should probably have block gap too, as its children will inherit that parent block's spacing value — not the query loop's.

As long as using grid layout isn't required for block spacing support.

What's the status here? Is there anything actionable remaining?

[annezazu]

Yes, we need to incorporate more patterns still! Room for improvement remains.
