Add action to toggle block quotes in Markdown (#58383)

This PR adds an action to toggle block quotes on and off for the
selected lines while in Markdown. I'm using my own binding in the demo
video, this PR does not bind it to anything.

When there's a mixture of quoted and "unquoted" lines, we normalize to
quoted:

While adding this, I noticed that `editor.rs` had been through some
refactoring in order to reduce its size. Because of this, I introduced
`markdown_actions.rs`, as I intend to follow up with some other markdown
toggling actions (eg: `markdown: toggle bold`, `markdown: toggle
italic`, etc.)

The implementation reuses the existing `manipulate_mutable_lines` code
that all line manipulating actions run through.
