Fix task list checkbox toggle to work with YAML front matter (#25184)

Fixes #25160.

`data-source-position` of checkboxes in a task list was incorrect
whenever there was YAML front matter. This would result in issue content
or PR descriptions getting corrupted with random `x` or space characters
when a user checked or unchecked a task.
