Fixes #71571
Contributes to #71517
Adds the contentOnly treatment to template parts by default when the experiment is active.
Also adds
support: contentRoleto the Site Tagline block to make that editable in contentOnly mode. (see: Audit blocks for writing and contentOnly modes)The one drawback of changing template parts this is that a user can no longer switch between different patterns for the template part. This feature was previously available in the block inspector. This might need to be considered, but I don't think it's a blocker for this PR. I think the tab implementation described in Content Only Pattern experiment: Split inspector controls into tabs for patterns is required before this can be brought back.
Also note that the navigation block is not supported yet, but that should come later!
Testing Instructions
