[FEATURE] Announcements

[GeoffDusome]

What does this do/fix?

This pull request introduces a new Announcements feature to the core plugin, enabling the definition, filtering, and rendering of announcements based on placement, page visibility, scheduling, and other rules. The implementation is modular, using a controller and a set of rule classes to determine which announcements should be shown in various contexts. Additionally, the necessary dependencies and block types are registered.

Announcements feature implementation:

• Added Announcement_Controller, which retrieves and filters announcements for a given placement using a rule pipeline (placement, front page, page visibility, scheduling) (wp-content/plugins/core/src/Components/Announcements/Announcement_Controller.php).
• Added rule classes implementing Rule_Interface to encapsulate announcement display logic:
  • Placement_Rule: Filters by placement
  • Front_Page_Rule: Handles front page display logic
  • Page_Visibility_Rule: Handles inclusion/exclusion by page, taxonomy, or post type
  • Scheduling_Rule: Enables time-based scheduling for announcements
  • Rule_Interface: Defines the contract for all rules
• Added Announcement_Renderer, which generates block markup for announcements and renders them as HTML (wp-content/plugins/core/src/Components/Announcements/Announcement_Renderer.php).

Integration and registration:

• Registered new announcement-related block types (tribe/announcement-renderer, tribe/announcements) in the block definer (wp-content/plugins/core/src/Blocks/Blocks_Definer.php).
• Registered the Announcement_Subscriber post type and the Announcement_Meta meta object in the core plugin and meta definer, respectively (wp-content/plugins/core/src/Core.php, wp-content/plugins/core/src/Object_Meta/Meta_Definer.php) [1] [2] [3].

Developer tooling:

• Updated the PHPStan configuration to exclude the wp-content/themes/core/dist/ directory from static analysis (phpstan.neon.dist).

Hey @dpellenwood I believe both the FE & BE have gone through code reviews but I'd like to get another once-over on the whole feature from you before we merge. I'm going to get this feature into DQA/QA though, so no rush.

🟢 Just one tiny suggestion., This is good to merge, imho!
