Bernhard Reiter b847b9c484 General: Add optional callback argument to serialize_block(s).
Allow passing a function callback to serialize_block(s) that is invoked on each node in the tree of parsed blocks as it is traversed for serialization.

A function argument was chosen for passing the callback function as it reflects a pattern familiar from other algorithms that apply a given callback function while traversing a data structure -- most notably PHP's own `array_map()`.

Introducing a filter was considered as an alternative but ultimately dismissed. For a fairly low-level and general-purpose function such as `serialize_block()`, using a filter to pass the callback seemed risky, as it also requires ''removing'' that filter after usage in order to prevent the callback from being accidentally applied when `serialize_block()` is called in an entirely different context.

Introducing a separate function for applying a given operation during tree traversal (i.e. independently of serialization) was also considered but dismissed, as it would unnecessarily duplicate tree traversal.

Props dlh, gziolo.
Fixes #59327. See #59313.
