Fixes two issues with saving widgets on the widgets screen: 1. Unable to save a new widget. What's happening here is that `saveEntityRecord()` passes execution back to `saveWidgetArea()` before it has a chance to call `addToBatch`. This means that nothing is in the batch processing queue when `processBatch()` is called. The temporary fix is to wait for a promise before calling `processBatch()`. This allows execution in `saveEntityRecord()` to resume. 2. Unable to save existing widgets. What's happening here is that the client IDs are changed by `useBlockSync()`. This breaks the internal mapping that the widget editor maintains of widget IDs <-> block client IDs. The temporary fix is to have the widgets editor pass a prop to `useBlockSync()` that disables cloning blocks.

Temporary fix for two regressions that prevent saving widgets in the widgets screen. This screen is currently shown to all users of the Gutenberg plugin.
While I work on fixing this properly, I want to ship a temporary fix in 9.8 as these are very prominent regressions that are resulting in a lot of comments from users in #27173 and in the support forums. It also unblocks work on the widgets screen.
