Gutenberg compatibility

[greatislander]

Prerequisites

• Can you reproduce the behavior you wish to address with all other plugins deactivated?
• Are you running the latest version of Pressbooks and the latest version of WordPress?
• Are you experiencing this issue with one of our built-in root or book themes?
• Did you perform a cursory search to see if your bug or enhancement is already listed?

Description

We need to assess the Gutenberg editor's compatibility with Pressbooks. There are likely many features we need to disable and it has probably broken some things.

Steps to Reproduce

Not applicable.

System Information

Pressbooks: master
Gutenberg: master
WordPress: 4.8.1
PHP: 7.1

When trying to paste text from Word into the new editor, all formatting is lost.

And:

When you try to upload or select an image in the Images block, you’ll see that there are no longer options for sizing, alignment, or hyperlinking.
