Description of the Change
Prevents clicking on links in the Related Posts block in the editor.
Originally I had planned on mimicking the behaviour of the core Latest Posts block, and the code is based on that implementation, which displays a notice when attempting to click a link. However, on investigating more core blocks this behaviour is unique to the Latest Posts block and all other blocks, such as the various query loop blocks like the linked post title or date, simply silently preventDefault on any links. To avoid the overhead of needing to manage a notice I've gone with the more common convention.
This PR also converts the Related Posts block's edit component to a functional component.
Closes #2967
