This PR brings the PHP changes from the following Gutenberg PR to core:

WordPress/gutenberg#72628

Description

Adds background.gradient as a new block support, enabling blocks to combine a background gradient with a background image via comma-separated
background-image CSS values (e.g., background-image: linear-gradient(...), url(...)).

Currently, the only way to apply a gradient is through color.gradient, which renders as a background CSS shorthand and conflicts with background image
properties. By introducing background.gradient (stored at style.background.gradient), gradients become part of the background style group, allowing the
style engine to combine gradient and image values without conflict.

See: WordPress/gutenberg#32787

Testing

1. Ensure PHP unit tests pass: npm run test:php -- --filter="Tests_Block_Supports_WpRenderBackgroundSupport|Tests_Block_Supports_Colors|Tests_wpStyleEngine|test_get_background_gradient|test_remove_insecure_p roperties_allows_combined|test_remove_insecure_properties_allows_background_gradient|test_get_settings_appearance_true"
2. In a theme.json file, define a background gradient for the Group block using the new styles.blocks.core/group.background.gradient property (e.g.,
   "gradient": "linear-gradient(135deg, #000 0%, #fff 100%)"). Verify the gradient renders correctly on the frontend.
3. Also set a backgroundImage on the same Group block and confirm both values combine into a single background-image CSS declaration.
4. Verify existing style.color.gradient support continues to work on blocks that don't opt into background.gradient.
5. On a block that supports both, set both style.color.gradient and style.background.gradient — confirm background.gradient takes precedence and the
   color.gradient shorthand is suppressed.
