#64770: The new block level custom CSS breaks when edited by user without
unfiltered_html

https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/73959 introduced block level
custom CSS.
Everything works as expected unless a user without unfiltered_html edits a
page/post with block level custom CSS that includes nested selectors, eg.
```
color: green;
& p {color: blue}
```
In these cases, entities like & are encoded and the CSS breaks in the
editor and the frontend.
This is caused by KSES filtering in core, not in Editor codes, so filing
here, not in the GB repo.
