What?

Closes: #66576

This PR adds a new "Boundary Mode" that helps users visualise block boundaries during editing.

Testing Instructions

  1. Create a post with various blocks (paragraphs, columns, groups with nested content)
  2. Open the Options menu (three dots in the top right) and select Preferences
  3. In the "Appearance" section, toggle on "Boundary mode"
  4. Observe that all blocks now display dashed outlines indicating their boundaries
