Post Excerpt Block

1. Updated the first screenshot of this page for post excerpt block and the gif for adding post excerpt block
2. Confirmed all screenshots are relevant to the latest version 6.2.2
3. Updated the images from the sections: More, More options, Block settings.
4. Confirmed that all the headings are in sentence case
5. Made sure each image has Alt text

I noticed there are some changes in the post excerpt block settings on the right sidebar and it now appears in two separate sections i.e settings and style. But I didn't update or change those screenshots as mentioned at the top.

I noticed text alignment is working correctly for the excerpt field. So I kept that unchanged.

Thanks for working on these updates for 6.2 and 6.3 @shabnam611

Here are my comments:

1. Pls update the screenshot under Rich text editing option in the block toolbar. The new one includes Footnote. Also, link to this page - https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/more-text-editing-overview/ for more details (Use the blue box (similar to the one in ore options) and remove the details for that section from the page.
2. Update the More Options screenshot.

Thanks. Everything else looks great!

Once you are done, pls ping me.
