Description

Inserting the Mailchimp block currently requires opening a new window and connecting to Mailchimp in Calypso.

## Requirements

1. Users can connect the Mailchimp block without leaving the editor
1. The connection flow for Mailchimp opens in a smaller popup window, in the same way that the Instagram block works
1. The block in the editor displays a loading state while the connection window is open
1. When the connection flow is completed successfully, the block in the editor is automatically updated to be in a connected state
1. When the connection flow errors, the a notice appears at the top of the block placeholder with an error message and recommend next step
1. When the connection flow is abandoned (because the popup window is closed) the block returns to it's default placeholder state.

Research direction

Start by locating the Mailchimp block's editor connection flow and compare it with the Instagram block's popup behavior. Verify the editor handles loading, successful connection, connection errors with a notice, and popup closure by returning to the default placeholder state.
