Subject: [PATCH] feat: Allow block discriminator field in view columns

Enable displaying the block discriminator field (e.g., _block) in collection
view columns by extending getFieldByPath to recognize block fields.

When a path like 'content._block' is requested, returns a virtual string
field definition so the block type can be displayed in list views.
