Scan the /patterns directory recursively to find patterns in subfolders.

• Allow patterns files to be divided into sub folders inside the main "patterns" folder #50144

What?

Right now patterns can't be organized in subfolders, like template parts.

I'm not sure if this needs to be added to: gutenberg/lib/compat/wordpress-6.2/block-patterns.php or somewhere else and what to set as @since?

Furthermore, there are at least two functions that are similar and can perhaps be combined into one function:

json-resolver-gutenberg.php#L703-L715 (Gutenberg plugin)
block-template-utils.php#L223-L242 (Wordpress Core)

Why?

Better organize pattern files.

How?

Scan the /patterns directory recursively to find patterns in subfolders.

Testing Instructions

1. Add pattern in /patterns/subfolder/my-pattern.php
2. Open a post or page.
3. Confirm that 'my-pattern' shows up
