Description

Describe the bug
Looks like there's an undocumented behaviour of config/settings_data.json we'd need to think about:
https://github.com/Shopify/dawn/blob/main/config/settings_data.json#L173-L185

  • Section type should be renamed
  • Does that thing accept blocks? Do we rename blocks in there too?

Research direction

Inspect config/settings_data.json at lines 173-185 and trace how theme-tools currently handles section type renames. Determine whether blocks are accepted there and whether their names also need renaming; done means the expected behavior is decided and reflected in the relevant handling or documentation.
