Task: remove dependency on deprecated wp.nux package

[simison]

Details

Old deprecated @wordpress/nux package is being entirely removed in GB 14.9.

We rely on the package slightly by importing & disabling it, ahead of our own "welcome tour" as well as when disabling "tips":

wp-calypso/apps/editing-toolkit/editing-toolkit-plugin/wpcom-block-editor-nux/src/disable-core-nux.js

Line 3 in 6924f04

import '@wordpress/nux'; //ensure nux store loads

wp-calypso/apps/editing-toolkit/editing-toolkit-plugin/starter-page-templates/page-patterns-plugin.tsx

Line 7 in 6924f04

import '@wordpress/nux';

The published package of course continues existing on NPM, but because of how WP dependencies work, we don't actually bundle the package and instead mark it as external dependency enqueued from WordPress.

We might need to implement some workaround before both Gutenberg and WP gets upgraded to new enough version on WP.com and the package/data store is no more.

@autumnfjeld @Copons were your teams already looking at these components as part of other work?

@simison We don't have any active work in @Automattic/lego related to this.

Same for T-Rex!

Happy to put this in Team Lego's board, should I do that @simison ?

[simison]

@autumnfjeld Sure! Gutenberg 14.9 will ship some time in January at wp.com, some time after 1.8 (p4TIVU-am0-p2)

Thank you! 🙂

@wordpress/nux package has been deleted since a while ago from Gutenberg, but they just needed to restore it for 6.3 due to some breakage. I assume otherwise it would've been wiped out from core, too.
