Create a UK tides block - server side rendered - to replace the [bw_tides] shortcode

[bobbingwide]

Requirements

• Display UK tides information in a block
• Implement a block for the [bw_tides] shortcode
• Attempt to short circuit the need for the oik base plugin

Proposed solution

• New block oik-block/uk-tides - UK tide times and heights
• Depends on uk-tides for the server logic
• Implemented as a dynamic block for server side rendering
• Support easier to use parameter for source of tidal information
• Support easier to use parameter for specifiying the location
• Server side rendering to be performed when the block is not selected.

The block to be added to the list of experimental blocks in #16.

Another one for the problem determination. If your new block does not appear in the list check the console. You may see something like..

Block "oik-block/search" is already registered

Noticed today that the block no longer works for https://tidetimes.org.uk but it does for https://www.tidetimes.org.uk

I now want to implement this block in the uk-tides plugin as uk-tides\uk-tides. Rather than transfer the issue I've created a new one. bobbingwide/uk-tides#7 The oik-block\uk-tides block will either be deprecated or simply dropped.

The UK tides block is now longer delivered as part of oik-blocks.
