Add Syntax Highlighting for Code Blocks and Inline Code

[skiniks]

Describe the Feature

Earlier today, @patak-dev made a post highlighting the importance of syntax highlighting, especially for developers sharing accessible code snippets rather than images. This feature would not only improve accessibility but would continue to foster a developer-friendly environment, promoting more experimentation with the protocol.

Here’s the original post:

"Are there plans to add syntax highlighting to code blocks and inline code to Bluesky? It is one of the top features devs appreciated in Elk. Being able to share a11y code snippets instead of images makes a huge diff. I think it could help a lot to promote tinkering with the protocol among devs."

@gaearon also expressed support for the idea, stating:

"We should add that imo. The question to me is, do we detect markdown code fences or do we have some special facets for code?"

I am happy to contribute time to help work on this feature once a direction has been chosen.
