All this data will come from elsewhere. I want to ship things iteratively to maintain a steady velocity and don't overwhelm reviewers. This follow-up will be tracked at #76544

The icon is not part of the view-config endpoint because I don't know that we'll need it: 1) there's a experiment (Gutenberg > Experiments > Site Editor extensibility) to update how the site editor looks that doesn't use icons, 2) if we wanted them for any entity, we'll need to figure it out how to use/register them from the server.
I'll get this listed at #76544 so it's tracked.

Part of #76544
What?
Move view configuration (
defaultView,defaultLayouts, andviewList) for the Site Editor > Pages screen to a server-side REST API endpoint, replacing client-side definitions.There should be no visual changes.
Why?
See #76544
How?
Server side:
Gutenberg_REST_View_Config_Controller_7_1REST controller underlib/compat/wordpress-7.1/that serves view configuration per entity type via GET/wp/v2/view-config?kind=<kind>&name=<name>.default_view,default_layouts, andview_list.@wordpress/core-data:viewConfigsreducer,receiveViewConfigaction,getEntityViewConfigprivate selector, and resolver that fetches from the new endpoint.@wordpress/views:useViewConfighook that returns the view config (prefered to using the core-data private selector).@wordpress/edit-site:post-list/index.js: UseuseViewConfighook instead of importing fromview-utils.js.sidebar-dataviews/index.js: UseuseViewConfighook instead of importing fromview-utils.js.site-editor-routes/pages.js: Read view config directly from the store instead of importing fromview-utils.js.post-list/view-utils.jsentirely — all its exports are now served by the REST API.Testing Instructions
