* Fixes a bug where the Schema aggregator could break if another plugin returns `null` from the `rest_pre_serve_request` filter.
* Fixes a bug where structured data broke when `script` tag was used in the step description of the HowTo block.
* Adds sanitization to duration text for the HowTo block.
* Fixes a bug where `ImageObject` id related to Person Schema was not a fully-qualified, absolute URL.
* Fixes a bug where the "Additional CSS class(es)" field was missing from the link popover when Yoast SEO was active. Props to [somecodeiwrote](https://github.com/somecodeiwrote).
