This pull request seeks to resolve an issue where removing all blocks from a post with a template assigned would reintroduce the template blocks after saving and reloading the editor. This is in contrast with removal of a single block from template, where the edits would be respected.
It may be that we want to communicate to the user that the block content is in conflict with the template, or provide the option to insert the template for a truly-empty post, but the default behavior should respect the saved content of the user if they had removed the blocks in a previous session.

Then activate the plugin from Plugins screen in administration. This will enable a new Books post type with a default template.
Ensure end-to-end tests pass:
