Automatically insert the Mini Cart via Block Hooks

[sunyatasattva]

[Block hooks] are a new feature coming in WordPress 6.4 which allow certain blocks to be inserted automatically by plugins in block themes (templates, template parts, etc.). This is an incredibly useful feature for the Mini Cart block, which is almost universally present on the header of most eCommerce sites.

#10649 implements a version of it but inserts it after every navigation block. We probably want to only insert it as the last child of the header.

Heads-up that this will be fixed in #11745.

Also, wondering if we should mark this issue as a duplicate of woocommerce/woocommerce#42385. What do you think, @sunyatasattva?

I would have thought exploring and implementing might be worth two different issues, but in this case the other issue is still marked as open and there is more interesting discussion going on there. I agree on closing it as duplicate. What do you think of adding woocommerce/woocommerce#42385 inside the Epic, though?

It makes sense to me!
