Description
The String.formatted() method is not correctly intended for text blocks:
I want:
```
StringBuilder sql = new StringBuilder();
sql.append("""
INSERT INTO %s (%s) SELECT DISTINCT %s FROM %s
""".formatted(
"1",
"2",
"3",
"4"));
```
but I get
```
StringBuilder sql = new StringBuilder();
sql.append("""
INSERT INTO %s (%s) SELECT DISTINCT %s FROM %s
""".formatted(
"1",
"2",
"3",
"4"));
```
For regular strings the formatting is better. But I think it is wrong that the formatting does not add another indentation level.

Research direction
Reproduce the formatting shown for String.formatted() used with a Java text block, then compare it with the regular-string behavior described in the issue. Trace the code formatter entry point responsible for method arguments and establish whether text-block arguments should receive another indentation level. Done means the example formats with the requested indentation and existing formatter behavior remains unchanged.
