Podcast: wp-build dashboard scaffold + Jetpack > Podcast menu (2/4)

[arcangelini]

PR 2 of 4 in the Podcast untangle train

Proposed changes

Adds an empty wp-build dashboard scaffold to the projects/packages/podcast package and registers a "Jetpack > Podcast" wp-admin submenu, both gated behind jetpack_podcast_untangle. With the filter off (default), the legacy "Podcasting" Calypso link in wpcom-admin-menu.php keeps rendering exactly as before. With the filter on, the new in-admin page renders a placeholder <h1>Podcast</h1> inside standard wp-admin chrome.

Mirrors the pattern from the Newsletter scaffold (#48532). Adds jetpack-podcast as a hard dep of jetpack-mu-wpcom so wpcom-admin-menu.php can call Settings::add_wp_admin_submenu() directly.

Stacked on #48556. Upstream consolidation PR: #48499.

Does this pull request change what data or activity we track or use?

No.

Testing instructions

1. Enable the filter add_filter( 'jetpack_podcast_untangle', '__return_true' );
2. Go to /wp-admin and make sure Podcast (not PodcastING) shows under Jetpack
3. Podcast should load a blank page
4. Disable the filter and it should all go bye-bye
