Description

Came up in a comment on make.
In WordPress 5.8 we added the ability to only load styles for blocks when these blocks are rendered. However, these optimizations left out block-styles that get added using the register_block_style() function/API.

Registered block-styles can either be added using a handle, or by adding directly some CSS, and enqueueing these styles takes place inside the enqueue_block_styles_assets function.
If a handle is used and wp_should_load_separate_core_block_assets returns true, the stylesheet should be enqueued on block_render.
If inline-CSS is used and wp_should_load_separate_core_block_assets returns true, then we should check if there is a stylesheet for that block, and if there is then switch the handle inside the wp_add_inline_style call from wp-block-library to the block's stylesheet handle.

This PR modifies the enqueue_block_styles_assets function, adding conditions for wp_should_load_separate_core_block_assets() and making sure that registered block-styles only load when a block gets rendered on a page.

Thank you for a quick fix. It will have to wait until the 5.9 release cycle unless we include it in one of the 5.8.x patch releases.

It looks like [51417] contains an anonymous function. While these are allowed in some situations, they are not currently allowed for filter and action hooks (relevant Core coding standard). Can [51417] be refined to not use a closure?

This was also mentioned prior to merging the PR, in https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/1482#pullrequestreview-704072508
However, it was deemed acceptable because in this scenario, the anonymous function enqueues a stylesheet and doesn't do anything else:

plugins can still just run wp_dequeue_style to remove the styles. Since they can remove the styles, removing the hook itself seemed inconsequential.
