Initialize Varbase Editor Base recipe

Problem/Motivation

Drupal CMS has the Content text format, with limited editing features,

Varbase needs a dedicated recipe for managing editor functionality including CKEditor 5 configurations, text formats, and related modules.

The Varbase Editor module contains editor configurations in the config/optional directory, but these should be migrated to a proper recipe format that can be applied independently and reused across different Varbase installations.

Having that inline with Drupal CMS ~2.0

Proposed resolution

Create a new varbase_editor_base recipe that:

• Installs core editor modules (CKEditor 5, entity_embed, linkit, etc.)
• Provides default text format configurations:
  • Full HTML (Rich Editor) - Complete editing toolbar for advanced content editors
  • Code HTML - Raw HTML editing with ACE editor for administrators
  • Allow for AI integration by default
• Configures CKEditor 5 with premium features (fullscreen, WProofreader)
• Sets up media embedding and management capabilities
• Configures link management with Linkit integration
• Applies proper permissions when needed
• Follows Drupal CMS recipes patterns (no basic_html format, using Drupal CMS configurations)
