feat: replace PrismJS with highlight.js for code syntax highlighting

PrismJS's CJS global state is fundamentally incompatible with Vite's ESM
dev mode, causing missing language support (~40% of dropdown languages)
and fragile loading hacks (optimizeDeps, global assignment).

Replace the entire Prism integration with highlight.js/lib/common which
is ESM-native, has no global state, and covers all 22 dropdown languages
out of the box (~37 common languages included).

Implementation:
- Custom CodeHighlightPlugin using hljs.highlight() for tokenization
- HTML parser extracts flat tokens from hljs output (handles nested spans)
- Token type mapping from hljs scopes to Lexical codeHighlight theme keys
- Selection preservation via absolute character offset save/restore
- Re-entrancy guard prevents infinite transform loops
- Removed @lexical/code-prism import and Vite optimizeDeps workaround
