Refactor QuillyEditor and Quill Mention Extension for Improved Functionality

- Updated `QuillyEditor.vue` to enhance the handling of model updates and internal changes, ensuring better synchronization between the editor and the model value. Introduced a new `pasteHTML` function to manage HTML content pasting more effectively.
- Refactored `quillMentionExtension.js` to improve the processing of pasted content, ensuring that only valid mentions are retained and transforming flat mention structures into nested ones for better data integrity.
- Enhanced the SCSS styles in `app.scss` to apply list styles to ordered and unordered lists within the `.field-help` class, improving the visual presentation of help text.

These changes aim to improve the overall functionality, maintainability, and user experience of the QuillyEditor component and its associated mention extension.
