TimothyBlynJacobs 2b42ac5a12 REST API: Only register one block renderer route.
Every block has a different set of attributes. These attributes are specified as a JSON Schema object. Previously, every block registered its own block renderer route using its attributes for the schema. This allowed for the attributes to be validated using the built in endpoint validation rules. It had the unfortunate side effect, however, of creating a large number of nearly identical REST API routes, one for each dynamic block. Each registered route has a performance impact. As the number of server side blocks goes up, this becomes more and more of an issue.

Now, we register a single block renderer route and dynamically validate the attributes based on the selected block.

Fixes #48079.
Props gziolo, TimothyBlynJacobs.

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user.  DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory.  All files in that directory will be included by default.  Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run.  This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs.  Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
