*
* The manifest file should be a PHP file that returns an associative array, where
* the keys are the block identifiers (without their namespace) and the values are
* the corresponding block metadata arrays. The block identifiers must match the
* parent directory name for the respective `block.json` file.
*
* Example manifest file structure:
* ```
* return array(
* 'example-block' => array(
* 'title' => 'Example Block',
* 'category' => 'widgets',
* 'icon' => 'smiley',
* // ... other block metadata
* ),
* 'another-block' => array(
* 'title' => 'Another Block',
* 'category' => 'formatting',
* 'icon' => 'star-filled',
* // ... other block metadata
* ),
* // ... more block metadata entries
* );
* ```
*
* @since 6.7.0
*
* @param string $path The absolute base path for the collection ( e.g., WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/my-plugin/blocks/' ).
* @param string $manifest The absolute path to the manifest file containing the metadata collection.
* @return bool True if the collection was registered successfully, false otherwise.

* some scenarios they may also reside in entirely different directories (e.g. in case of symlinked plugins).

* * It is not allowed to register a collection with path `WP_PLUGIN_DIR`.
* * It is not allowed to register a collection with path `dirname( WP_PLUGIN_DIR )`.
*
* The default list encompasses the `wp-includes` directory, as well as the root directories for plugins,
* must-use plugins, and themes. This filter can be used to expand the list, e.g. to custom directories that
* contain symlinked plugins, so that these root directories cannot be used themselves for a block metadata
