Description

With Gutenberg 18.0+, if a theme/plugin uses the register_setting() core function without using the show_in_rest, then the

Warning:  Undefined array key "show_in_rest" in /wp-content/plugins/gutenberg/lib/compat/wordpress-6.6/option.php on line 35`

is thrown.

I believe Gutenberg should add defensive coding around this line, because according to the show_in_rest argument is not required and I expect to see a lot of those warnings in the wild.

For example, Yoast SEO's settings pages use the register_setting() function without the show_in_rest arg, so that warning is consistently thrown there.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Install Gutenberg latest version and & Yoast SEO
2. Go to Yoast SEO->Settings
3. Confirm that you get a Warning: Undefined array key "show_in_rest" warning
