Bug 2006637: Problem with populating blocktype_installed_viewtype table

For Blocktype::get_viewtypes() the list it returns is static
so if there are more than one call to it during an upgrade it doesn't
pick up any new viewtypes added after the first call.

In upgrade we need it to not be static

Bug description:
  When we add a new view type we update the blocktype_installed_viewtype
  table to know what blocks can be used on this new view type.

  But if we have an upgrade path where we add two new view types in one
  upgrade session then the information is not correct from
  Blocktype::get_viewtypes() because it is set to be static.

  We need it to ignore this static-ness on upgrade.

  To test:

  Install a 20.04_STABLE site
  Upgrade to main
  Run the following command in database:
  select * from blocktype_installed_viewtype where viewtype = 'activity' order by blocktype;

  Should see:
  29 (or 30) rows including 'placeholder' and 'image' blocktypes

  Actually see:

  21 (or 22) rows and 'placeholder' and 'image' blocktypes are missing
