Posts page should directly editable in the Site Editor

[richtabor]

If a site is set to use a home page and a posts page (via Reading Settings), then you cannot edit the posts page in the Site Editor unless I first choose to edit the template.

I would expect this view to be directly editable.

Perhaps the posts page is "unlocked", as it is template and content in one—the template editor is not invoked in full here. That way you can still add a featured image, rename, trash it, etc.

I think this is essentially the same as #63748.

Imo the experience editing the posts page should be virtually identical to the experience editing a homepage set to display latest posts.
