Install stops on a Canvas block component version when the language is not English

Problem/Motivation

Installing Drupal CMS with Varbase Starter in a language other than English can stop with an InvalidConfigException. On 1.0.10 with Português (Portugal), canvas.page_region.vartheme_bs5.header asks for a component_version of block.system_branding_block or block.views_exposed_filter_block.search-block_1 that does not exist.

Drupal Canvas versions a block component with a hash that includes the translated block label. When Canvas makes the component before the recipe runs, a non-English site has only the translated version, while the recipe pins the English one. It depends on timing, so a different block can fail on each run. English installs are not affected.

Same bug as The Rightup #3636517, reported there by xpete.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start the Drupal CMS installer.
2. Pick Português (Portugal) as the language.
3. Pick the Varbase Starter site template.
4. The install stops with the InvalidConfigException above.

Proposed resolution

In recipe.yml, keep the English version of each pinned block component whose label is translated, beside the version Canvas made (simpleConfigUpdate on versioned_properties). This is the fix The Rightup merged in MR !100. Leaving component_version out is not possible, because Canvas requires it in config component trees.

Blocks covered: site branding, breadcrumb, blog latest view block, webform block and the header search exposed filter.

Tested locally: Português (Portugal) and English drush installs finish, and the home page and content pages return 200.
