Update Theme Handbook main page with links to each theme

Issue:

The block theme info is located in the Block Editor Handbook. When developers look for information on building themes, they most likely go to the Theme Handbook.

URL:

Themes section on Block Editor Handbook
https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/how-to-guides/themes/

Suggested Fix:

Add a brief explanation and links to each theme to provide a clear distinction between Classic themes and Block themes on the Theme Handbook main page.

Suggested text. It should go after the 2nd paragraph, and before the step 1 on the Theme Handbook. I'd appreciate any input!

There are two types of themes: the Classic and Block themes. The classic theme is the original theme that primarily uses PHP. The block theme is a newer theme that is built mainly using HTML. The block theme is composed entirely of blocks allowing users to take full advantage of the full site editor.

Head over to the Block Editor Handbook if you are interested in learning about the block theme.

Revised suggestion:

In this section, you can learn how to build the Classic or Block themes. The classic theme is the original theme that primarily uses PHP. The block theme is a newer theme that is built mainly using HTML. The block theme is composed entirely of blocks allowing users to take full advantage of the full site editor.
