Support un-placed blocks

Problem/Motivation

While it is possible to create a region to place token blocks in (and not even output that region in your template), and further to disable these token only blocks, but these steps should not be necessary. (I created a region labeled "Tokens (place here and disable)" to make this capability and approach explicit.)

Proposed resolution

In addition or instead, we could allow the use of any plugin-named block directly. This would meet my use case of not caring about special configuration.

Alternatively, we could probably provide a form that allows configuring blocks and forces the disabling and placing in a hidden region like core's default page_bottom region. Then it would work the same as now without the extra steps.

Remaining tasks

Decide if this is wanted.

Token blocks would (also) be managed on a dedicated page.
