Hide block style variations when state is enabled in global styles

[tellthemachines]

What?

Quick fix for something I noticed while testing #80339

Testing Instructions

1. In global styles, select a block with style variations and pseudo states (e.g. Button)
2. Enable different states (viewport and pseudo) and check that the style variations don't display when those states are enabled:

Default state:

Non-default state:

It looks like this also hides the style variations buttons if Hover is selected. However, it's possible on trunk to style the Hover style variation of the Button block:

That said, it's not necessarily a blocker as you can still click into Outline before selecting "Hover", and then once you're in the Outline variation select the "Hover" state. Also, because the selected pseudo state doesn't survive a navigation change, if a user is on "Hover" when at the parent level of the Button block, they'll have to reselect Hover anyway once they go into the Outline style variation.

So, IMO not a big deal to hide the variations panel if any state is selected. Just thought I'd mention it if it feels like a concern or if there's a simple way to hide only if it's a viewport selected.

Here's a video of the above behaviour:

Also, because the selected pseudo state doesn't survive a navigation change, if a user is on "Hover" when at the parent level of the Button block, they'll have to reselect Hover anyway once they go into the Outline style variation.

This also happens with the other states: if you're on tablet and select a variation, you then have to re-select tablet once in it. It makes me think it's better to hide the variations if a state is selected so the path to styling a variation is unambiguous.

Sounds good to me! In that case, my tentative LGTM is now simply a normal LGTM 😄
