feat: add handle resolution to block/unblock endpoints

Update block and unblock handlers to accept at-identifiers (handles)
in addition to DIDs, resolving them via ResolveCommunityIdentifier().

Changes:
- Remove DID-only validation in HandleBlock and HandleUnblock
- Add ResolveCommunityIdentifier() call with proper error handling
- Map validation errors (malformed identifiers) to 400 Bad Request
- Map not-found errors to 404
- Map other errors to 500 Internal Server Error

Supported formats:
- DIDs: did:plc:xxx, did:web:xxx
- Canonical handles: gaming.community.coves.social
- @-prefixed handles: @gaming.community.coves.social
- Scoped format: ![e-mail]

Test coverage (11 test cases):
- Block with canonical handle
- Block with @-prefixed handle
- Block with scoped format
- Block with DID (backwards compatibility)
- Block with malformed identifiers (4 cases - returns 400)
- Block with invalid/nonexistent handle (returns 404)
- Unblock with handle
- Unblock with invalid handle

Addresses PR feedback: Validation errors now return 400 instead of 500

Fixes issue: Handle Resolution Missing
Affected: Post creation, blocking endpoints
