Hidden blocks in editor for a8c accounts: continue investigation on P2 editor

[miksansegundo]

What

We pushed D145819-code for code that seems to affect only the core editor.

Core Editor	P2 editor

Why

I am not 100% sure how those blocks are hidden in the P2 editor that opens in a modal. We want to understand how that works to ensure the issue is fixed.

I believe the P2 editor is doing it in the right way because the P2 is not using the following code, which we assume caused the issue.

// Remove any ignored blocks
wp.domReady( () => {
  ignoreBlocks.forEach( wp.data.dispatch( "core/edit-post" ).hideBlockTypes );
} );

How

Investigate the following in wpcom repo:

• disallowBlocks and hiddenBlockTypes
• the filter p2editor_settings
• the function get_p2editor_settings
