fix: Make quote blocks isolating

[matthewlipski]

Summary

This PR makes quote blocks isolating. That means when pasting content into an empty quote block, it won't overwrite the block type to that of the clipboard content.

Closes #2236

Rationale

There is a scenario where the user wants to paste some text for a quote, so they create a new quote block using the slash menu. They then paste the quoted text into the newly created block, and the type changes to something else. This is not great for UX.

Changes

• Added isolating flag to quote block.

@nperez0111 maybe we want to make all non-paragraph blocks isolating? This seems to be closer to what Notion does.

@matthewlipski is isolating what we are looking for here or defining?

[matthewlipski]

I thought defining makes more sense here too, but blocks are already defining by default. I found that isolating also needs to be true for the pasting fix.

[YousefED]

can we add a test to pasteTestInstances.ts or similar?
