Product Collection: try replacing Product Image with Cover block

[kmanijak]

Background
In the issue #44146 (comment), there's a suggestion to replace Product Image with Cover block so we enable all of the Cover block features. Also, it would open new capabilities in terms of patterns creation.

@nerrad proved in a quick check there's no obvious problem with that:

Goal:

• Double check there are no negative side effects of using Cover instead of Product Image
• Make sure Cover block covers Product Image capabilities
• If no problems are detected:
  • replace Product Image with Cover (+ On Sale Badge) block in patterns that include Product Collection
  • use Cover (+ On Sale Badge) as a default block in Product Collection

It is awesome to see the quick response and followup!

The Cover block now has Dimensions: Add Aspect Ratio block support making it possible to create product images that are the same size.

I am also suggesting creating a new Sales Badge block which by default is added as a inner block to the Cover block as I believe it will add a greater flexibility compared to the current implementation. #44392

Thanks @paaljoachim, just noting we've created the issue to track this but there's still some diligence we're working through before committing to any changes.

yep, the aspect ratio is needed in several areas, included the Related products template / loop
