Add simple container block to wrap smaller elements in block-based themes #20376

Related to the overarching Site Editor (formerly "full site editing")
I have experimented with Full Site Editing and turned an existing theme with PHP templates in a block-based WordPress theme.
There were multiple times where I had the need to wrap some elements. While the Group block works fine with larger sections it felt a bit much for wrapping smaller elements like the post date and author:
It would have quickly turned into this to achieve the same structure as in the PHP version:
The Group block generates a lot of HTML markup and often you also don't need the full range of settings like aligment and colors (and probably more to come) for each and every element.
So I wish there was a simple container / wrapping block for this, with less HTML markup and without any settings. Maybe users are able to transform it to a full Group block if they want adjust colors or make any changes. And it should allow semantic tags (related to #20200)
