Updated markdown plugin

New markdown plugin for pyblosxom that uses python-markdown 2.0:

Can this be added to the plugin registry?

The old markdown plugin that is still linked to in the pyblosxom
plugin registry is a very old one. It contains a complete
implementation of markdown inside the plugin itself, it's buggy, and
it's unmaintained.

A while ago Benjamin Mako Hill posted a better plugin that uses
[python-markdown], the leading implementation of markdown in python,
rather than implementing markdown in the plugin itself. I've now
updated that plugin to use the new python-markdown 2.0. This is much
less buggy than the old markdown plugin that's in the registry,
python-markdown is actively maintained, and python-markdown has a
_lot_ of nice extra features in the extensions that come with it.
Since we (the pyblosxom community) need only maintain a pyblosxom
plugin that uses python-markdown via python-markdown's stable API, we
will not need to release new versions of the plugin when bugs are
fixed and features added to python-markdown, users can update their
versions of python-markdown and the pyblosxom plugin will continue to
work.
