fix(richtext-lexical): cursor kicked out of nested richtext while typing in a block

[AlessioGr]

With autosave enabled, typing into a richtext field nested inside a Lexical block randomly kicks the cursor out of the nested editor and silently drops any characters typed after the jump.

The block keeps its data in sync with the outer lexical editor by calling editor.update(() => node.setFields(...)) whenever the inner block form's onChange fires. That update runs Lexical's updateDOMSelection, sees the active element sitting inside a nested contenteditable rather than the outer editor's own selection, and forcibly resets DOM selection back into the outer root.

The fix passes SKIP_DOM_SELECTION_TAG to the data-sync editor.update calls in both block components so the reconciler leaves DOM selection alone during these syncs.
