Description

As discussed here, the Buttons block probably shouldn't have the left/center/right block "alignment" options. They aren't really useful and they don't do what you might expect them to. The Buttons block should instead have item justification/alignment options (similar to the Navigation block).

This PR takes the first step by removing the current block "alignment" options, since I think they lack usefulness and are confusing in behavior. It also updates the "Two Buttons" block pattern to not use the option; in a future PR when the Buttons block gets item alignment options, the block pattern could be updated to use that to center the buttons instead.

How has this been tested?

I copied some aligned Buttons blocks from a website running Gutenberg 8.3.0 into an instance of the editor running this branch to ensure that the removal of the alignment support is handled properly. The old blocks with alignxxx classes have their align attribute removed, but the class name is retained in the custom class name field, as expected.

Checklist:

  • My code is tested.

Upon further exploration, I have discovered that it would be best to add the proper alignment/justification controls at the same time as removing the broken/confusing ones, and thus reduce the number of deprecations created. I'm closing this in favor of #23168.
