Missing padding after block elements in visual mode

[rachelmcr]

Expected

I expect to see padding after a block element (e.g. list or quote) in Calypso mode, as in Calypso web:

Observed

There isn't any visual padding below block elements:

Reproduced

1. In Calypso mode, create a new post with a blockquote.
2. End the blockquote and enter a new line of non-quoted text below the quote.
3. Compare the results with Calypso web (note that there is no space between the quote and the new line of text).

Tested

Nexus 9 on Android 7.1.1 with WPAndroid alpha-87

I took a look at this issue and seems that the only way to fix it is to add 2 NewLine characters instead of 1 in AztecParser.addVisualNewlinesToBlockElements. (and also change AztecParser.syncVisualNewlinesOfBlockElements.)
The downside of this solution is that the 2nd "new-line" is visible on the screen, and you can put the cursor on the empty line between 2 blocks.

I wish there was a way to just simply add some margin to each Span. Instead of doing text manipulation with "hidden" characters.

@0nko found a library we can check to get some inspiration to fix this issue.
