What is the `register_block_type_from_metadata()` function and how does it improve block registration?

Accepted Answer

The `register_block_type_from_metadata()` function allows developers to register a block by simply providing its block.json metadata file. This function automatically reads script handles, style handles, attributes, and supports, eliminating the need to manually specify each parameter in `register_block_type()`.
