Description
### What
Adds support for Instagram Reel permalinks to be used as embedded content using Latest Instagram Posts Block.
### Why
The functionality has [already been added to Instagram block](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/pull/19735), so individual reels can be added.
However using the `Latest Instagram Posts` block skips these reels altogether.

### How

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Latest Instagram Posts block and compare its permalink handling with the existing Instagram block support for Reel permalinks. Confirm how the block filters or embeds posts, then verify that Reel permalinks are retained and rendered as embedded content rather than skipped.
