Remove block format from a line

[benbro]

It's not possible to remove code formatting from an empty line.
Block formatting is removed only when there is a selection range.
When the code block is at the beginning of the document, it's not possible to enter normal lines above it.

Steps for Reproduction

1. Visit http://quilljs.com/docs/formats/
2. Copy the following code block (three lines)

var a = 1;

var b = 2;

3. Place the cursor on the second line. Click on the T_x button
4. Place the cursor on the third line. Click on the T_x button

Expected behavior:
Code block formatting should be removed from the second and third lines.

Actual behavior:
Both lines still formatted as code blocks.

Platforms:
Chrome 55 on Windows 7

Version:
1.1.8

I think the issue is remove formatting requires at least a selection. There does not seem to be complete consistency between other editors' remove formatting feature. Some do not remove block level formats at all. There was a discussion on redesigning this in #954 but it does not seem like many people had any strong opinions.

The documentation is not clear about it needing to be a highlight. Perhaps that should just be clarified?

I've added a comment on #954.

Currently removeFormat doesn't remove block formats when the range is collapsed.
That's the only thing missing to make Quill remove format behavior ideal.
