Feature request: Add support to fix improper use of blockquote about summernote-cleaner HOT 3 CLOSED

Apologies for not seeing this earlier.
</blockquote> is valid HTML, why would we need to convert them to other elements? I'm not sure I'm understanding why they would need to be. The indentation is controlled via CSS, granted the resulting output may look different than what's displayed in the editor, but keep in mind that the markup is styled in Summernote in such a way for legibility, despite how the markup may be styled if used to display the content elsewhere.

The point is that for many years, html editors misused <blockquote> as the equivalent to the nonexistent <indent> and had nothing whatsoever about denoting a quote. As a result, you may have this horrid html:

<p>Some text</p>
<blockquote>
  <p>Indented text</p>
  <blockquote>
    <p>Indented even more</p>
  </blockquote>
</blockquote>

In legacy html, this markup is quite common and cleaning it up is a pain. I'm proposing adding an option to cleaner to convert this to something like:

<p>Some text</p>
<div class="indent">
  <p>Indented text</p>
  <div class="indent">
    <p>Indented even more</p>
  </div>
</div>

This could be styled via:

.indent {
  left-margin: 10px;
}

Hope this clarifies my suggestion. This does, of course, assume that the html does not contain any properly used blockquote tags which would need to be reverted back manually.

The cleaner, mainly removes elements, mostly styles and classes, and non-html elements. I'm open to suggestions and PR's that can do stuff like validating markup, and possibly restructuring it according to what should be semantic.
