What?

This PR adds custom controls for designing the read more button in the post excerpt block. It adds border control and background, and text color selection specifically for the readmore button.

Why?

As mentioned in issue #57352 there were no specific design tools for the readmore link in the post excerpt block. This PR adds some controls like border, border color, border radius, background color, and text color for the Readmore link.

How?

  • Added block support for border- style, width, color, and radius.
  • Added attribute to hold the background and text color for the readmore link.
  • Implemented PanelColorSettings in the styles tab of inspectorControl to select colors for readmore link.

Testing Instructions

  1. Open a post or page.
  2. Insert a post excerpt block.
  3. Add some content to it and then write some text in "readmore" text placeholder.
  4. In the inspector control custom color selection for the readmore link can be found where the user can select the background and text color for the "readmore" text.
  5. In the bottom of the inspector control border controls can be found where the user can select border width, color, style, and radius.

Thanks for contributing, @vipul0425!

It looks like the problem has been partially resolved, but the discussion is still ongoing. I'm going to close this PR, since it's not actionable until the final decision has been reached.
