This commit also include Activity search which requires an upstream change.
This commit also fixes some translation issues: the name and description of the block were not translatable.
If v2 of the Block API was introduced in WP 5.6, using a `block.json` Metadata file was introduced in 5.8.
This makes sure people don't get confuse with the WP Block Search.

We've decided during the 10.0.0 development cycle that new BuddyPress blocks would be packaged as BuddyPress Add-ons and published into the WordPress Blocks/Plugins directory.
Here's the first block as BuddyPress add-on: BP Search Block. It's a block that uses a very old feature that was available when the BP Default theme was our main front-end playground. A search form with search options to look for members, groups, blogs or posts. Here's how it looks into a regular WordPress page:
As you can see, I've added the possibility to search for Activities. BuddyPress doesn't support this for now, but I'll open a ticket to quickly add this support into 10.0.0. I believe being able to search in activities from this block is a must have!
Here's how it looks into the Blocks editor:
From the Sidebar settings, you can select which component can be listed into the "Search for" radio group. Using this radio group, you can switch the default selected radio item.
This block requires WordPress 5.8 because it uses the block.json Metadata. It also uses version 2 of the Block API.
I've also adapted the BP Blocks plugin, so that it's easier to build these "standalone" blocks in the future.
My idea is to request a WordPress.org repository for this block so that it can be listed into the BuddyPress Add-ons tab we've added to the Plugins/Add new Administration screen.
