Tiled gallery block: load block outside the tiled-gallery module

[simison]

Currently, tiled gallery block relies on Tiled gallery module, which relies on the Photon module.

If we don't rely on Photon for the layouts, there's no reason to hide Tiled gallery block when user disables Photon. The block doesn't rely on anything from the Jetpack module neither, so perhaps the gallery should always be available.

Test by disabling Photon ("speed up image load times"):

Tiled gallery block should't now load assets in frontend. The editor side currently loads regardless of the module.

You can test the block following instructions from Automattic/wp-calypso#28944

It does indeed seem like the easiest solution, although not without potential issues. We face similar problems with the Markdown block. See #10294 (comment)

We're relying on Photon for the block, but we're not relying on the Tiled Gallery module for the block 🙃

I'd like to remove the dependence on the Tiled Gallery module and instead rely on Photon.

You have my blessing.
