Description

### Expected
1. If the user copies a checklist to a clipboard, the paste result should be the exact copy of a checklist.
2. If the user deletes the checklist, and uses `Undo`, the checklist should be restored correctly

### Observed
In both cases mentioned above, only the text is pasted/restored, but not the checkboxes. Example video for the case of `Undo`:

### Reproduced
1. Have a note with checklist
2. Select the checklist and Cut (Delete) it
3. Paste (Undo) ~> only the text is pasted (restored), but not the checkboxes.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Android with a note containing a checklist, then trace the Cut/Paste and Delete/Undo entry points involved in restoring note content. Done means both clipboard paste and Undo restore the checklist text together with its checkboxes.
