Subject: [PATCH] i18n: Localise label attribute of additional blocks

Adds Navigation Link, Navigation Submenu, Home Link, Social Link, and
Categories blocks to the list of blocks whose label attribute is
escaped for translation on theme save.

Continues the band-aid coverage approach tracked in #776.

Fixes #825.
