[TASK]: Save skeleton loader on client side only to boost building blocks drag and drop about appsmith HOT 1 CLOSED

The current solution is not viable at this moment as it necessitates extensive modifications to implement.

Short-term Solution
This workaround involves introducing a new action and reducer to manage the addition of skeleton widgets to the canvas. It doesn't involve making any API calls to save the layout. However, this approach is suboptimal and temporary; it will alter the canvas state and may introduce edge cases to a solution that is otherwise stable.

Long-term Solution
The proper way to implement this feature is by leveraging meta widgets, a concept already present in the codebase and used by the existing list widget. This approach is more scalable and maintainable but requires significant changes to the canvas widget to accommodate meta widgets. Although it is more complex and time-consuming, this solution ensures better long-term stability and flexibility compared to the short-term fix.

Given the scope and implications of the changes needed for the proper solution, the immediate implementation will not proceed. We will close this issue and revisit it when we have the bandwidth to implement the long-term solution.
