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)
4. For 6.0, you can pick the screenshots added in the comments previously.

@pls78 are you still working on this page?

[pls78]

@femkreations Hi, no I'm not. Is there something needed by my side? 🙂

[femkreations]

@pls78 Thanks for the reply. I will unassign it in that case. Nothing else needed from your side.

Here is the draft of the Styles Overview page https://wordpress.org/support/wp-admin/post.php?post=16104506&action=edit covering all the trackers in this one for 6.1 and 6.0.
I have not included Fluid Typography as I understand it is currently in theme.json only. @annezazu
