Fix - EditPostActivity - Update fetching for the block editor's settings logic

[geriux]

Fixes #21005

It appears the /wp/v2/themes?status=active endpoint is not returning any data for self-hosted sites, from my debugging the API call it's returning is Sorry, you are not allowed to view the active theme.

This endpoint is available in WordPress core so there must be something wrong with the authentication of this call.

As a workaround, this PR disables calling the following endpoints within the editor:

• wp-block-editor/v1/settings?context=mobile
• /wp/v2/themes?status=active

The first one is only available for Dotcom or Jetpack-connected sites with the Gutenberg plugin activated.

If the first one is unavailable, it fetches the current active theme to get its colors. This one is currently failing and blocking the Editor's UI and functionality.

Disabling these calls for self-hosted sites won't affect the editor's functionality.

Regression Notes

1. Potential unintended areas of impact

   • It only affects the editor.

2. What I did to test those areas of impact (or what existing automated tests I relied on)

   • Manual testing.

3. What automated tests I added (or what prevented me from doing so)

   • No new tests added, relied on manual testing to fix the current bug.

👋 Just wanted to chime in that when I retest the self-hosted editor issue with 42bebe3 I couldn't reproduce it. I didn't test the other scenarios (with Jetpack, Dotcom), though.

Test plan succeeded for me on a Samsung Galaxy S20. Thank you for addressing this. 🚀
