Add blocks section with pre-built UI patterns

[Copilot]

Building Blocks Section - Complete Implementation

This PR adds a comprehensive "Building Blocks" section to the ObjectUI documentation, similar to shadcn/ui blocks. The blocks section provides pre-built, production-ready UI patterns that users can copy and paste into their applications.

✅ Completed Items

• Create blocks directory structure in content/docs
• Add blocks to main navigation (meta.json)
• Create blocks index page with overview
• Create block categories with live interactive demos:
  • Authentication Blocks - Login forms, signup pages, password reset, 2FA
  • Dashboard Blocks - Stats cards, recent activity, overview layouts
  • Form Blocks - Contact forms, settings panels, newsletter signup, payment forms
  • Marketing Blocks - Pricing tables, feature grids, CTAs, testimonials
  • E-commerce Blocks - Product cards, shopping cart, order summaries
• Implement interactive demos with Preview/Code tabs
• Add copy-paste functionality for JSON schemas
• Fix icon component property names (use 'name' instead of 'icon')
• Test blocks render correctly
• Take screenshots of block examples

🐛 Bug Fix

Fixed prerender error on /docs/blocks/dashboard page by correcting icon component property from icon to name. The icon component in ObjectUI uses the name property, not icon.

Changed in all block files:

  {
    type: "icon",
-   icon: "dollar-sign",
+   name: "dollar-sign",
    className: "h-4 w-4"
  }

Fixed in b376898. The issue was that icon components were using the icon property instead of name. Updated all icon components in dashboard, forms, marketing, and e-commerce blocks to use the correct name property.
