Quote intends are sorta weird; we should copy Slack’s behavior. Here’s the raw text: With an empty line in the middle that has no space after the chevron This is another three line quote

But this time there’s a space after the middle chevron

This is how it comes out (correctly) on Slack, and (incorrectly) on E.cash. In particular:

1. quote indents on subsequent lines should be combined (but separated if there is a blank line between)
2. quoting a blank line should be fine
