Update the web composer textinput to an emitter (close #1193) (#1205)

The tiptap useEditor() hook creates an awkward challenge for passing
event handlers into its plugins and native events. By introducing a
memoized editor, we should be able to shuttle events out of tiptap
without retriggering the useEditor hook. The emitter can then change
its registered handlers with each state update.
