[Gutenberg] Introduction of new blocks for AMP specific features

[postphotos]

Possibly to be included in v1.0 release. Formal story + AC to come soon.

Regarding amp-carousel see #1065. I do not recommend there being an amp-carousel block in itself to, for example, allow the user to create an arbitrary carousel of other blocks (like the experimental Columns block with nested blocks). We can limit the scope for amp-gallery to just be an extension to the Gallery block, similar to what is done in Jetpack I believe.

All Gutenberg PRs have been merged, so I believe this is now ready for QA.

Request For Testing

Hi @csossi,
Could you please test this?

1. Go to https://native-ampconfdemo.pantheonsite.io/
2. Create a new post
3. Test all of the AMP blocks, which will show when you search for "AMP"

4. Often, there are example IDs or values in the site ampbyexample.com. Like if you need an ID to test the AMP Reach Player, you could go to https://ampbyexample.com/components/amp-reach-player/ and use its data-embed-id value.

5. Expected: The blocks render properly on the front-end. The media players won't render the media in the editor, but they will on the front-end.

@kienstra Could be "ok as is", but not seeing anything on the front end for the springboard player, and can't seem to find ids for the ooyala player. Post is https://native-ampconfdemo.pantheonsite.io/2018/06/07/qa-test-post/

Thanks For Testing
I Also Saw Your 2 Points

Hi @csossi,
Thanks for testing this.

1. I also saw that the amp-springboard-player doesn't display on the front-end:

But the values that the AMP by Example site gives don't even cause the player to render on that page:
https://ampbyexample.com/components/amp-springboard-player/
After a brief search, I couldn't find any other values for this. We might revisit this for later, but I'd propose that it's alright for now.

2. Good point, it's hard to find IDs for the Ooyala player. I copied the ones from this doc into the editor, and they seem to display well:

Hey @kienstra, thanks for looking into this, let me know if that's something that would be good if I would investigate (springboard player issue).
