Navigation Block: Add transparency slider for submenu background

[dhruvikpatel18]

Closes: #53487

What?

This PR adds the ability to set a transparent background for Navigation Block submenus by enabling the alpha (transparency) channel in the color picker for the submenu background setting.

Why?

Currently, users who want their submenu background to be transparent (to match the transparent background of the navigation block) have to use custom CSS. When no background color is set, submenus default to a white background, and the existing color picker doesn't allow for transparency settings.

This improvement creates a more intuitive user experience by allowing transparency to be set directly from the editor interface without requiring custom code.

How?

The implementation adds the enableAlpha: true property to the color settings for the submenu & overlay background in the ColorGradientSettingsDropdown component. This enables the transparency slider in the WordPress color picker component, allowing users to select any level of transparency for submenu backgrounds.

Testing Instructions

1. Create a new page/post and add a Navigation Block
2. Add a submenu item to the navigation
3. In the sidebar, under the Color panel, find the "Submenu & overlay background" color setting
   Select a custom color
4. Verify that a transparency/opacity slider is now available
5. Adjust the transparency and check that the submenu background shows the correct transparency level

Hi @ajitbohra
Since the PR has been approved, I believe we can proceed with merging it now. Let me know if anything else is needed. Thanks!

@dhruvikpatel18, do you mind rebasing this branch? That should resolve CI failures.

[Mamaduka]

Thanks for the rebase, @dhruvikpatel18!

What do you think about enabling transparency for other color settings as well, just to make it consistent? Seems odd to have it only enabled for once, even if it might get more actual use.

[dhruvikpatel18]

@Mamaduka, Thank you for the feedback, I agree that enabling transparency for all color settings would provide a more uniform and flexible user experience.

I'll modify the code to enabling transparency for other color settings in the ColorGradientSettingsDropdown. This will allow users to adjust transparency across all color pickers in the Navigation block, including:

• Text Color
• Background Color
• Submenu & Overlay Text Color
• Submenu & Overlay Background Color

Thanks for the follow-up, @dhruvikpatel18!

Rebasing should fix the failing e2e test.
