Editing block on Mobile loses Ordered List Settings

[mchowning]

In gutenberg#15113 the web side added settings for changing the start number in an ordered list and reversing the ordered list. Unfortunately, these changes broke mobile because they used components mobile had not implemented. That was fixed in gutenberg#17070, but we have not implemented those additional settings, so any changes on mobile will override (and lose) those settings from web. See this comment for additional info.

We may have the same issue with respect to the color of a list separator block added from web as a result of #1308

So, if I understand this ticket correctly, editing on mobile a post that has one of those list settings not currently supported on mobile will result in loosing content details?

That is the concern @hypest . @etoledom raised this concern when we were fixing a crash on mobile, and because we were in the middle of trying to get the release out I did not have time to fully investigate the issue, so I made this ticket to track it.

The separator block color was added in gutenberg 6.3.0 and the reverse and start number settings for list blocks were added in 6.4.0. It looks like my site on WP.com is still using gutenberg 6.2.0, so it's not super easy to verify this issue at this time.

Let's split this into 2 tickets:

1. Make sure we don't alter the body of the post. So, if those options are used, the mobile editor needs to keep them. Let's have this for the Open Beta.
2. Display/rendering of the list when those options are in effect. Let's keep this out of the Open Beta.

I'm implementing support for displaying start and reversed properties in Aztec iOS: wordpress-mobile/AztecEditor-iOS#1242

For the record, even before implementing the necessary changes in Aztec, we were not losing the reversed and save attributes because of Aztec.
I think the problem at the time was that our version of Gutenberg master was behind and not saving the new attributes at all.
