This adds some pretty fragile logic to preserve the formatting of a Google Docs "Title" when pasted into a Lexical editor using the core HeadingNode from @lexical/rich-text.
I do not understand why Google doesn't put something vaguely resembling semantic HTML on the clipboard when users copy from Docs, but I don't think it's going to change and we need to find a more robust way to deal with the idiosyncrasies.
I noticed CKEditor has a whole separate plugin just for handling pasted HTML from Docs. Perhaps the most robust solution would be to not use HTML at all and instead build a conversion between the Google Docs JSON format (that is also on the clipboard) and Lexical.
For now, we have this.
