Improve performance of File block processor

[fluiddot]

trafficstars

This PR follows the same approach taken in https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/pull/22896 to improve the performance of Gutenberg processors. The overall improvement will be less significant in this case (that's why the PR is marked as Enhancement instead of Bug) mainly because the File block is used by fewer users than Image/Gallery blocks. Nevertheless, it will speed up the post-saving process.

To test:

Follow the testing instructions to cover the functionality related to the processors for the block:

• File Block:
  • Close the post with an ongoing file upload
  • Close/Re-open post with an ongoing file upload

Regression Notes

1. Potential unintended areas of impact The block processors are only used when saving a post. No other area should be impacted.

2. What I did to test those areas of impact (or what existing automated tests I relied on) Manually tested saving a post with File blocks.

3. What automated tests I added (or what prevented me from doing so) I added a new unit test to cover the content parsing of File blocks.
