Description

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Go to Appearance > Widgets
  2. Add a Contact Info widget to your site.
  3. In that widget, set up the map using a Google Maps API key.
  4. Now drag an additional widget to the widget area.

At that point, and since we've already gone through the steps to set up a key, the new widget should already be set to use that key, thus saving us time.

Similarly, it should also be pre-filled when it's already be set thanks to the jetpack_google_maps_api_key filter.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the Contact Info widget stores and retrieves the Google Maps API key. Look for existing filters like `jetpack google maps api key`. Then, find where new widgets are initialized and add logic to pre fill the key from another widget instance or the filter.
