Try making the hover state of nested blocks more visible (#16820)

* Try using a solid border for the hover state of nested blocks. * Try using slightly lighter dashed borders. This allows for us to match the existing hover color on hover. * Add dark mode styles. * Expand hover styles to cover all children of a parent block. This ensures that they apply correctly in a 3+ level deep scenario.
