This PR introduces **Obsidian Vault Import Support** to AFFiNE. 

Previously, users migrating from Obsidian had to rely on the generic
Markdown importer, which often resulted in broken cross-links, missing
directory structures, and metadata conflicts because Obsidian relies
heavily on proprietary structures not supported by standard Markdown.

This completely new feature makes migrating to AFFiNE easy.

**Key Features & Implementations:**

1. **Vault (Directory) Selection**
- Utilizes the `openDirectory` blocksuite utility in the import modal to
allow users to select an entire folder directly from their filesystem,
maintaining file context rather than forcing `.zip` uploads.

2. **Wikilink Resolution (Two-Pass Import)**
- Restructured the `importObsidianVault` process into a two-pass
architecture.
- **Pass 1:** Discovers all files, assigns new AFFiNE document IDs, and
maps them efficiently (by title, alias, and filename) into a
high-performance hash map.
- **Pass 2:** Processes the generic markdown AST and correctly maps
custom `[[wikilinks]]` to the actual pre-registered AFFiNE blocksuite
document IDs via `obsidianWikilinkToDeltaMatcher`.
- Safely strips leading emojis from wikilink aliases to prevent
duplicated page icons rendering mid-sentence.

3. **Emoji Metadata & State Fixes**
- Implemented an aggressive, single-pass RegExp to extract multiple
leading/combining emojis (`Emoji_Presentation` / `\ufe0f`) from H1
headers and Frontmatter. Emojis are assigned specifically to the page
icon metadata property and cleanly stripped from the visual document
title.
- Fixed a core mutation bug where the loop iterating over existing
`docMetas` was aggressively overwriting newly minted IDs for the current
import batch. This fully resolves the issue where imported pages
(especially re-imports) were incorrectly flagged as `trashed`.
   - Enforces explicit `trash: false` patch instructions.

4. **Syntax Conversion**
- Implemented conversion of Obsidian-style Callouts (`> [!NOTE] Title`)
into native AFFiNE block formats (`> 💡 **Title**`).
- Hardened the `blockquote` parser so that nested structures (like `> -
list items`) are fully preserved instead of discarded.

### UI Changes
- Updated the Import Modal to include the "Import Obsidian Vault" flow
utilizing the native filesystem directory picker.
- Regenerated and synced `i18n-completenesses.json` correctly up to 100%
across all supported locales for the new modal string additions.

### Testing Instructions
1. Navigate to the Workspace sidebar and click "Import".
2. Select "Obsidian" and use the directory picker to define a
comprehensive Vault folder.
3. Validate that cross-links between documents automatically resolve to
their specific AFFiNE instances.
4. Validate documents containing leading Emojis display exactly one
Emoji (in the page icon area), and none duplicated in the actual title
header.
5. Validate Callouts are rendered cleanly and correctly, and no
documents are incorrectly marked as "Trash".

  * Added Obsidian import label and tooltip translations.

* **Tests**
* Added end-to-end tests validating Obsidian vault import and asset
handling.
