Backports r65309 and r65417 to the 6.8 branch.

Removes tests/gutenberg/run.js and tests/gutenberg/.wp-env.sample.json, along with the chalk and uuid dev dependencies, which were only used by that script. No other script, Grunt task, or workflow in this branch references tests/gutenberg, and nothing else in the branch's tooling imports chalk or uuid.

The chalk and uuid entries were removed from package-lock.json.

Claude Code (Claude Opus 5.5) applied the trunk change to each branch and opened this PR. package-lock.json was regenerated with Node 20 / npm 10 (the version this branch's engines field specifies) using npm install --package-lock-only. The diff was checked to contain only deletions.

In [48382] a script was added to run the Gutenberg end-to-end tests in `wordpress-develop`. Besides a few small changes related to normal Gutenberg syncs, these files have not been touched since being introduced and the script no longer works.

It was never formally added to any GitHub Actions workflows.

Removing this script also allows the `chalk` and `uuid` dependencies to be removed. "And another one gone, and another one gone."

Merges [65309] and [65417] to the 6.8 branch.

See #65845, #50469, #59407.
