New requirements for settings pages & onboarding in themes

Recommended readings:
Also, we would like to request theme authors, if you add such a setting page, please reach out to @acosmin, @kafleg or @greenshady for a quick look and review it exclusively.
On a side note, Justin said, “I have some thoughts on settings pages. Would it be beneficial to have an Slot in-the-Site Editor navigation panel? If there’s not already a ticket, that would be worth exploring. That way, there’s a more dedicated place for custom settings screens in the Site Editor. Just jotting this down for the future, but anyone is welcome to explore that on their own too”.
He added, “I think it would help resolve some of the block Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. theme settings screen discussion in a way that works well with the block editor. I’ll run the idea by a few folks”.
We would like to see how theme authors will come up with the idea implementation.
