Add a way to read and modify the query generated by the Query Loop block

[sunyatasattva]

What problem does this address?

In order to properly extend the Query Loop block and allow further use-cases (such as special queries required to display custom post types and the attributes that extensions might add), we need a way to hook into the query object read by the children of the Query Loop block, to manipulate.

What is your proposed solution?

Adding a custom filter to build_query_vars_from_query_block should be sufficient. This function is used to construct the actual $query from the Query Loop block attributes and is the method currently used for all the Query Loop block children.
