Update: request currently tracked in Gutenberg: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/37462

What

When a paragraph block is created add an option to indent the first line.

Why

User 4667852-zd-woothemes requested the feature to make the text look more "book like".

MGS shows quite a few people have asked if it was possible on Slack but they found there was no option beyond using CSS code.

Another request in 5442924-zd-woothemes. This user is currently using Preformatted/Verse blocks to achieve this effect, but doesn't like the resulting overall appearance (their theme adds a scrollbar/overflow area to the right/bottom of each block), which wouldn't be an issue if this feature existed on default Paragraph blocks.
