Pull Request Overview

This PR forward ports a fix from Umbraco 15 to prevent exceptions when retrieving references during content migration with changed data types. The changes focus on improving error handling in block editors by adding logging capabilities and avoiding fatal exceptions when deserializing invalid block data.

  • Adds logger parameter to block editor constructors to enable proper error logging
  • Replaces exception-throwing deserialization with safe parsing that logs warnings
  • Improves resilience during content migration scenarios where data format mismatches occur

@AndyButland I reintroduced the generic catch to avoid a potential functional breaking change here. Other than that it looks good 👍

I'll leave it up to you to merge, in case you have any objections with my change 😄
