LGTM! We'll probably migrate attributes.textAlign to styles.typography.textAlign in all blocks from now on, but will we add a similar deprecation to all blocks?

Yes, we can probably share the same hook (in the other blocks, paragraph is special) |

What?
In #73111 We remove the align attribute from the paragraph block. The issue though is that we didn't take into consideration plugins that might still be updating this attribute programmatically, like plugins adding "justify" buttons.
This PR adds a shim for these plugins while throwing a deprecation message.
Testing Instructions
1- Insert a paragraph block
2- Open the browser console
3- Update the align attribute programmatically, something like
Notice that the alignment of the paragraph changes as you call the updateBlockAttribute function. Also a deprecation is printed in the console the first time you do it.
