Posts: sticky posts on page 1 only + 100px between posts

- A custom Query Loop block (inherit:false, e.g. /desk/posts) prepends sticky posts
  to EVERY page because the block query never sets ignore_sticky_posts. Add a
  query_loop_block_query_vars filter that, on pages after the first, drops the
  stickies + sets ignore_sticky_posts — pinning them to page 1 only. Scoped to
  custom queries so the inherit:true search/archive blocks are untouched.
- 100px spacing between the full posts on /desk/posts (body.page-id-3919).
