feat(richtext-lexical): allow replacing entire blocks with custom components (#9234)

With this PR, you can now customize the way that `blocks` and
`inlineBlocks` are rendered within Lexical's `BlocksFeature` by passing
your own React components.

This is super helpful when you need to create "previews" or more
accurate UI for your Lexical blocks.

For example, let's say you have a `gallery` block where your admins
select a bunch of images. By default, Lexical would just render a
collapsible with your block's fields in it. But now you can customize
the `admin.components.Block` property on your `block` config by passing
it a custom React component for us to render instead.

So using that, with this `gallery` example, you could make a dynamic
gallery React component that shows the images to your editors - and then
render our built-in `BlockEditButton` to allow your editors to manage
your gallery in a drawer.


Here is an example where the BlockEditButton is added to the default
Block Collapsible/Header:

#### Customizing the way your block is rendered in Lexical
If you're using this block within the [Lexical editor](/docs/lexical/overview), you can also customize how the block is rendered in the Lexical editor itself by specifying custom components.
- `admin.components.Label` - pass a custom React component here to customize the way that the label is rendered for this block
- `admin.components.Block` - pass a component here to completely override the way the block is rendered in Lexical with your own component
This is super handy if you'd like to present your editors with a very deliberate and nicely designed block "preview" right in your rich text.
For example, if you have a `gallery` block, you might want to actually render the gallery of images directly in your Lexical block. With the `admin.components.Block` property, you can do exactly that!

<strong>Tip:</strong><br/>
If you customize the way your block is rendered in Lexical, you can import utility components to easily edit / remove your block - so that you don't have to build all of this yourself.
</Banner>
To import these utility components for one of your custom blocks, you can import the following:
```ts
import {
// Edit block buttons (choose the one that corresponds to your usage)
// When clicked, this will open a drawer with your block's fields
// so your editors can edit them
InlineBlockEditButton,
BlockEditButton,
// Buttons that will remove this block from Lexical
// (choose the one that corresponds to your usage)
InlineBlockRemoveButton,
BlockRemoveButton,
// The label that should be rendered for an inline block
InlineBlockLabel,
// The default "container" that is rendered for an inline block
// if you want to re-use it
InlineBlockContainer,
// The default "collapsible" UI that is rendered for a regular block
// if you want to re-use it
BlockCollapsible,
} from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/client'
```
## Block Configs
Blocks are defined as separate configs of their own.
