Description

### What
Although it's possible to view and use nested checklists that were created on desktop, it doesn't seem possible to actually create a new nested checklist.

The closest possible solution is dragging the cursor in front of the checklist circle and pressing space a few times, but that doesn't actually work when the note is previewed.

### Why
A user reached out, expecting to be able to create one based on the info here: https://simplenote.com/2019/02/06/a-better-way-to-keep-track-of-your-tasks-check/
It doesn't explicitly say you can _create_ one on iOS, but it's sort of implied. So I'm filing this as a bug because it seems like it may be an oversight, although I am not 100% sure

### How
This part I don't know - given the lack of a tab key on the iOS keyboard, it would need to work differently than how it does on desktop

Research direction

No files, tests, or code entry points are named. First reproduce creating a nested checklist on iOS and compare it with a desktop-created checklist, then determine an iOS interaction that supports nesting without a tab key. Done means a newly created nested checklist previews and behaves correctly on iOS.
