List View: add an indicator of when a position type is set for a block (

WordPress#49122)

* List View: add a position label when a position type is set for a block

* Move get label function to the useBlockDisplayInformation file

* Try using icon over the block icon instead of a text label to indicate sticky status

* Try more subtle icon / styling idea, and add in a tooltip

* Try provided svg icons

* Don't change color when hovered

* Try separate sticky icon instead

* Add pinSmall icon

* Minify pinSmall

* Add additional optional chaining because attributes can technically be null
