Allow customization of awareness field keys (user and cursor) #1958

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm developing a canvas application and trying to add BlockNote nodes to it. However, my application already uses the user and cursor awareness fields, which conflicts with BlockNote's built-in awareness fields.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to have configuration options to customize the awareness field keys for user and cursor in BlockNote. This would allow developers to specify custom field names (e.g., bnUser, bnCursor) to avoid conflicts with existing awareness implementations in their applications.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Restructuring my application's awareness system to use field names that don't conflict with BlockNote's built-in fields (would require refactoring of existing code)

Additional context
