Allow the "Create exposed form block" setting for embed displays.
Description of the need
I often need the exposed form for views to be displayed in a block when the view display I a working with is not a block. I don't know why is this setting is limited to only block displays.
Proposed solution
I would like to try to make this setting available at all times. If anyone knows of any possible repercussions, perhaps we can address those individually.

Draft of feature description for Press Release (1 paragraph at most)
Views exposed forms can now be placed as blocks for 'embed' displays.
See related: https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/7028
I have combined https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/7028 with this issue, since inheriting the path is required for exposed forms.
I needed this exact functionality just a few days ago; I endorse its addition.
I made a test module that creates a simple view with an exposed filter and an embed block and creates a test page that embeds the view. Then used the layout editor to add the exposed filter block to the test page. Works like a charm. So WFM on this. Test module is attached.
There are some phpcs complaints that look real, so at least one more go-around needed on the PR.
