This PR attempts to remove the need to checkout the WordPress/gutenberg repository locally by instead downloading a copy of the built plugin from the GitHub Container Registry for the respective pinned hash value.

Trac ticket:

Use of AI Tools

I used Claude Code to make some of the adjustments to the Gruntfile.js file and tools/gutenberg folder.

With this new approach, a pre-built zip will be downloaded instead.
This is no longer necessary because a Git repository is no longer used.
This switches to downloading a prebuilt zip file uploaded to the GitHub Container Registry for a given commit instead.

This eliminates the need to run any Gutenberg build scripts within `wordpress-develop`.
A REF is typically a human-readable path to a branch where as a SHA is a hash representing an individual commit. Since the latter is what's being used here, this aims to avoid confusion.
