Memory Issue: wc_bookings_get_block_minutes_array

In the standard WC Bookings use case, adding increments of minutes to an array is acceptable as most bookings will be less than a few hours.

However, for accommodations, this can cause a PHP memory leak as bookings can be multiple days or even months.

function wc_bookings_get_block_minutes_array( $block, $interval ) {
	$block_array = [];
	for( $i = 0; $i < $interval; $i++ ) {
        
        /* This can get too large and cause memory errors */
		$block_array[ $block + ( $i * MINUTE_IN_SECONDS ) ] = 0;
	}
	return $block_array;
}

Usual error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 167772160 bytes)

Steps to reproduce the issue

See above code block, simply use a large enough time range for an accommodation product.
