Save the heading block's clientId as a block attribute

/**
 * Save the clientId and anchor attribute to the block attributes
 * This is so that we can use these values in the frontend when
 * parsing the blocks using parse_blocks.
 *
 * (The value of "anchor" is not saved to the database, so we're
 * saving it as an additional custom attribute.)
