[IMP] web_editor: add shortcuts toolbar buttons in the placeholder

Coresaas-17.4web_editorwebsiteMedium

Users now see quick action buttons directly in empty editor areas for common tasks like lists, tables, images, links, and mail-merge placeholders. This makes content creation faster in backend HTML fields, Knowledge, and mass mailing, while keeping website editing unchanged and improving visibility on dark backgrounds.

Original PR description

### Purpose of this PR:

This PR adds placeholder buttons for certain toolbar options to enhance
user experience and functionality.

1. **Placeholder Buttons**
    1. For backend HTML fields and knowledge:
          - Numbered lists
          - Bullet lists
          - Checklists
          - Tables
          - Images
          - Links
      2. In the case of mass-mailing add the following options:
         - Numbered lists
         - Bullet lists
         - Checklists
         - Tables
         - Images
         - Links
         - DynamicPlaceholder

2. **Dynamic Placeholder**
    1. Updated dynamic placeholder icon to use 'fa-hashtag' for consistency.
    2. Added 'dynamic placeholder' button to the sidebar.

3. **Excluded these buttons from display on the website.**

### Desired Output:

1. **For HTMLFields:**

[IMP] mail,im_livechat: shorten access of channel settings

PR #178313

Coresaas-17.4mailim_livechatprojectMedium

Discuss users can now open a Channels menu to quickly view the channels they belong to. Channel settings are also easier to reach through a compact options menu for common actions like notifications, inviting users, marking messages as read, and leaving or unpinning a channel.

Original PR description

Purpose of this PR:

1. Add a 'Channel' menu button that, when clicked, displays all the channels the current user is a member of.

2. Instead of opening the channel info when click on the channel settings button, open a popover containing setting options like,
 - Mark all as read
 - Notification Settings
 - Invite a User
 - Channel Info
 - Leave/Unpin Channel
