Joe McGill 03e46a7670 Themes: Make caches for block patterns clearable.
In [56765], theme block pattern files were cached to a transient as a performance enhancement. However, transients are not easily clearable when caches are flushed on environments not using a persistent cache, which can lead to errors if the theme files are renamed, edited, or moved.

This changes the caching mechanism to use `wp_cache_set()` instead, and caches these values to the global group so they are still persistent on environments using an object cache, and will be cleared by a cache flush.

In addition, the helper `_wp_get_block_patterns` has been moved `WP_Theme::get_block_patterns` for consistency with other block related theme methods and cache helpers for these values, `WP_Theme::get_pattern_cache` and `WP_Theme::set_pattern_cache`, have been made private.

Relevant unit tests updated.

Fixes #59633. See #59591, #59490.

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user. DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory. All files in that directory will be included by default. Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run. This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs. Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
