refactor(query): drop blocks package, use Cadence Web markdown format

- Remove go.uber.org/cadence/x/blocks from all three query samples
- Return simple formattedData JSON (cadenceResponseType, format: text/markdown, data)
- Inline response struct in each workflow for self-contained samples
- Ignore new_samples/query/query executable build artifact in .gitignore
