Enable displaying the block discriminator field (e.g., _block) in collection view columns by extending getFieldByPath to recognize block fields. When a path like 'content._block' is requested, returns a virtual string field definition so the block type can be displayed in list views.

Summary
This PR enables displaying the block discriminator field (e.g.,
_block) in collection view columns.Problem
When using block fields, there's no way to display the block type in the list view. Users who want to show which block type each entry uses (e.g., "image", "video", "gallery") currently cannot do so because:
getFieldByPathonly traverses intoobjecttype fields, notblocktypesSolution
Modified
getFieldByPathinlib/schema.tsto recognize the block discriminator field (defaulting to_block, or a customblockKeyif configured). When a path likecontent._blockis requested, it returns a virtual string field definition.Usage
In
.pages.yml:This will display "image", "video", etc. in the list view column.
Changes
lib/schema.ts: ExtendedgetFieldByPathto handle block discriminator fields (~10 lines added)Testing
Tested with a collection of 3300+ posts using various block types (image, video, gallery, quote, link, post). The column correctly displays the block type for each entry.
