Make Advanced Queries reusable

[stdword]

Three simple ideas to increase reusability of Advanced Queries

1. Make :rules customizable in config.edn
   Just like it works now for :query/result-transforms & :query/views. It is pretty easy to implement.
2. Add :embed-block as :inputs
   Just like :current-block works now. But :embed-block should be the :db/id of block which embeds the block with query. With that approach we can use the same one query with block embedding and parametrize it via embed block properties. Example:

   - param:: value
     {{embed ((666cd068-133c-4b30-9df4-1dd8a94179cb))}}
   - param:: another-value
     {{embed ((666cd068-133c-4b30-9df4-1dd8a94179cb))}}
   

   Where the ((666cd068-133c-4b30-9df4-1dd8a94179cb)) is the reference to block with query:

   #+BEGIN_QUERY
   {
     :inputs [:embed-block]
     :query [:find ?value
     :in $ ?embed-block
     :where
       (property ?embed-block :param ?value)
   
       ;; ... any way of usage ?value
     ]
   }
   #+END_QUERY
   

   This will lead to result: the only one query, but ability to parametrize it as we need:
   
   
3. Add :query-result as :inputs
   Now the result of query in parent block can be used in child blocks via {{function ...}} macro, but this way is very limited. It would be very useful to reuse the query result in child blocks via advanced queries.
