Bently 3ca2387631 feat(blocks): Implement Text Encode block (#11857)
## Summary
Implements a `TextEncoderBlock` that encodes plain text into escape
sequences (the reverse of `TextDecoderBlock`).

## Changes

### Block Implementation
- Added `encoder_block.py` with `TextEncoderBlock` in
`autogpt_platform/backend/backend/blocks/`
- Uses `codecs.encode(text, "unicode_escape").decode("utf-8")` for
encoding
- Mirrors the structure and patterns of the existing `TextDecoderBlock`
- Categorised as `BlockCategory.TEXT`

### Documentation
- Added Text Encoder section to
`docs/integrations/block-integrations/text.md` (the auto-generated docs
file for TEXT category blocks)
- Expanded "How it works" with technical details on the encoding method,
validation, and edge cases
- Added 3 structured use cases per docs guidelines: JSON payload
preparation, Config/ENV generation, Snapshot fixtures
- Added Text Encoder to the overview table in
`docs/integrations/README.md`
- Removed standalone `encoder_block.md` (TEXT category blocks belong in
`text.md` per `CATEGORY_FILE_MAP` in `generate_block_docs.py`)

### Documentation Formatting (CodeRabbit feedback)
- Added blank lines around markdown tables (MD058)
- Added `text` language tags to fenced code blocks (MD040)
- Restructured use case section with bold headings per coding guidelines

## How Docs Were Synced
The `check-docs-sync` CI job runs `poetry run python
scripts/generate_block_docs.py --check` which expects blocks to be
documented in category-grouped files. Since `TextEncoderBlock` uses
`BlockCategory.TEXT`, the `CATEGORY_FILE_MAP` maps it to `text.md` — not
a standalone file. The block entry was added to `text.md` following the
exact format used by the generator (with `<!-- MANUAL -->` markers for
hand-written sections).
