Force Top Toolbar

[swissspidy]

Having the block toolbar attached to the block makes editing quite cumbersome when they can be resized (very small, overlapping other blocks) and rotated (hard to edit, warrants disabling block rotation) within a page.

It makes more sense to force the Top Toolbar to be active at all times for a better editing experience.

With this plus #1974, we're getting to a point where we don't need to show any block toolbar within a page anymore, but only the block itself.

This will make it easier to have accurate positioning within a page as well. (Think scale() in CSS)

Suggestion:

• Filter editor settings to make sure fixedToolbar is always enabled.
• Maybe subscribe() to state changes to turn fixedToolbar on it somehow gets deactivated through something else.
• Hide Fixed Toolbar option using CSS.
