Add filter to site edit titles

[KevinBatdorf]

What?

This allows developers to override title property in siteEditsAsEntities

closes #41637

Why?

More flexibility to the developer who wants to avoid showing "computer language" to the user (e.g. custom_site_option)

How?

title: applyFilters(
    'entitiesSavedStates.siteEditsAsEntities.title',
    TRANSLATED_SITE_PROPERTIES[ property ] || property,
    property
),

Testing Instructions

• Visit the site editor
• Change the title
• Save the post.

On the confirmation page you will see mention that the Title was changed. Add the following code to the console:

wp.hooks.addFilter('entitiesSavedStates.siteEditsAsEntities.title', 'kb', () => 'hey')

• Close and re-open the confirmation panel (i.e. trigger a re render)
• See 'hey'

Hey, @KevinBatdorf

I wasted working on an alternative solution - #59243. I would love to hear your thoughts about it.

[KevinBatdorf]

Yeah we can close this.

I see how you can filter it via php in your PR. Nice job 🙌

[Mamaduka]

You'll able to define settings title/label via the register_setting function. I've included example in my PR.

[KevinBatdorf]

Ah right. I was looking at the default labels. I actually forgot what this PR was solving for but yeah that makes sense now :)
