v0.25.0

v0.25.0 is an ad-hoc release targeted at addressing an input regression with Android Chrome (#7218) , but includes many other fixes (particularly around deleteCharacter) and several new features (such as the NodeCaret API).

## Breaking Changes

Core:

* #7180  `ElementNode.collapseAtStart(range)` would previously only be called on the direct parent of the anchor's node, so the presence of anything like a `LinkNode` would prevent a `ListItemNode` from collapsing. Now it will also be called on parents under certain conditions.

* #7155 #7204 The heuristic used in RangeSelection.deleteCharacter to handle merging blocks and deleting decorators from a collapsed selection has been refactored for consistency. It now traverses the node tree directly instead of attempting to use browser selection APIs.

Tables:

* #7192 It's no longer possible to create nested tables with normal UI actions. It's likely that this will change in the future when nested tables work correctly with the rest of the table infrastructure.

## Highlights

Core:

* 🆕 #7046 New [NodeCaret API](https://lexical.dev/docs/concepts/traversals) for traversal of the document tree 
* ✅ #7180 Collapse through inline elements in deleteCharacter
* ✅ #7186 Highlight formatting now supported by TextNode importDOM (plus toolbar support in the playground)
* ✅ #7175 Workaround for delete character with emoji grapheme customers that do not include non-BMP code points
* ✅ #7155 Improve character deletion around shadow roots and decorators
* ✅ #7218 Remove Android Chrome workaround

Tables:

* 🆕 #7077 TableCell support for verticalAlign
* 🆕 #7134 #7190 TableNode support for freezing the first column and row
* ✅ #7161 Ensure rectangular table cell merge behavior
* ✅ #7192 Nested tables are disabled
* 🆕 #7205 TableNode support for style attribute
 
Code:

* ✅ #7187 Fix selection boundaries in code block

React:

* ✅ #7185 Typeahead menu now respects read-only mode

Playground:

* ✅ #7194 Optimize table cell resizer event listeners
* ✅ #7215 Remove redundant Suspense from node decorators
