Added 6.1 tasks

Notes

1. We are not adding detailed updates for the Block settings as we are revamping the block settings for all the block articles
2. Pls make 6.1 updates first and then move into 6.0.
3. Some of the PRs for 6.1 have great videos that can be added to the article (even for the Block settings section)

The image under the line "The image block can be added to a page by clicking on the Add Block button" can be replaced with the one below to show both options to add a block.

[femkreations]

@rumejan I have added a few tasks for 6.2 related. Pls let me know if you have any questions.

The lightbox seems to be dependent on theme.json settings, and the default theme doesn't have it, so we're not including it in the documentation to avoid frustrating users.
