fix(editor): avoid native paste when html drops raw tags

When pasting mixed content containing multiple <tag> patterns (e.g.
"<t>\n裸 `<tag>` 做转\n<tag>\n<t>"), CommonMark treats bare <word>
as inline HTML. ProseMirror silently drops unknown HTML elements,
causing partial content loss. The previous empty-result fallback only
caught the single-tag case where the entire parse result was empty.

Pre-process paste text before markdown parsing: escape <tag> patterns
whose tag name is not a standard HTML element, while respecting inline
code spans and fenced code blocks. Standard HTML (div, br, img, etc.)
passes through normally.
