Tracking: Refining Border Controls

[aaronrobertshaw]

This issue aims to map out what may be required to implement the proposed border control refinements in #35602.

Additional background on the process behind the current border controls design can be read in the following post:
Thinking Through: WordPress Border Controls

Potential Tasks

• Update block support to allow individual borders per side
• Update theme.json and global styles for individual borders
• Create new border control as per #35602
• Finish off API to access global styles values within the block editor
• Leverage new API to apply global styles values as defaults within block support controls
• Move border radius to Dimensions panel and rename to "Radius"
• Update the ToolsPanel to allow toggling of single control via +/- icons

Future Considerations

• Border image - will this be an alternate state for the new border control or its own control?
