👌 Remove hard-coded block indent limit

For CommonMark, the presence of indented code blocks prevent any other block element from having an indent of greater than 4 spaces.
Certain Markdown flavors and derivatives, such as mdx and djot, disable these code blocks though, since it is more common to use code fences and indenting is desirable.
Currently, disabling code blocks does not remove the indent limitation, since most block elements have the 3 space limitation hard-coded.
This commit therefore centralises the logic of applying this limitation, and only applies it when indented code blocks are enabled.
Note, this is a potential breaking change and divergence from upstream markdown-it, for this niche case, but I feel makes sense.
