Assembler theme not respecting Site Title block alignment

[radtechgh]

Quick summary

Site Title block alignment stuck to bottom. Top or Middle alignment is not respected. Other blocks added respect the Middle align, so the header looks out of alignment.

Steps to reproduce

1. Premium test site.
2. switched theme to Assembler
3. Site Editor, edit header.
4. Site Title block is in a Row block
5. Set Alignment in Row block to Middle.
6. Site Title remains aligned to bottom.

What you expected to happen

Site title block has space above, so it has room to adjust, it should change alignment when configured.

What actually happened

Site Title block remains fixed in Bottom Alignment.

I found out that installing the Assembler theme on a standalone site works properly. So searching for the differences, I noticed that one of the global styles is differently rendered in Calypso. If I fix this, it seems the error is fixed.

I didn't find the reason to render it differently yet, but I'm already sharing it here since I'll probably not finish it today.

@Automattic/lego 👋 Would you easily know the reason for this difference in Calypso? Maybe a filter somewhere?

After some debugging I found the reason and noticed that it was an issue introduced by this Gutenberg PR, but already fixed by this PR. So in the next Gutenberg update in WPCOM it will be fixed.

Since it's not related to Calypso repository and the solution was already merged in Gutenberg, I'm closing this PR.
