Consider adding a block based theme automatically (tt1-blocks)

[youknowriad]

A lot of PRs these days are about Full Site Editing features requiring a block theme. Can we have tt1-blocks installed by default?

There's some prior art to this with the time-remaining and disable-nux plugins installed by default as mu-plugins:

gutenberg.run/images/gutenbergrun-site/Dockerfile

Lines 29 to 30 in 1e9211f

	RUN curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aduth/wp-time-remaining/master/index.php > wp-content/mu-plugins/time-remaining.php
	RUN curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aduth/wp-disable-nux/master/index.php > wp-content/mu-plugins/disable-nux.php

Those are pretty simple examples though, since they're single file plugins.

A zip might not be much more difficult if you'd extract it to a folder, then write a loader file like described in this page:

WordPress only looks for PHP files right inside the mu-plugins directory, and (unlike for normal plugins) not for files in subdirectories. You may want to create a proxy PHP loader file inside the mu-plugins directory:

e.g.

RUN curl -o my-plugin.zip http://example.com/plugin.zip && \
  unzip my-plugin.zip -d wp-content/mu-plugins/my-plugin && \
  echo "<?php require WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR . '/my-plugin/my-plugin.php';" && \
  rm my-plugin.zip
