Implement Pandoc Markdown concise link extension (#20304)
* Implement Pandoc Markdown concise link extension This implements #20127. Besides reference to headings we also support doing references to Nim symbols inside Nim modules. Markdown: ``` Some heading ------------ Ref. [Some heading]. ``` Nim: ``` proc someFunction*() ... ... ## Ref. [someFunction] ``` This is substitution for RST syntax like `` `target`_ ``. All 3 syntax variants of extension from Pandoc Markdown are supported: `[target]`, `[target][]`, `[description][target]`. This PR also fixes clashes in existing files, particularly conflicts with RST footnote feature, which does not work with this PR (but there is a plan to adopt a popular [Markdown footnote extension](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#footnotes) to make footnotes work). Also the PR fixes a bug that Markdown links did not work when `[...]` section had a line break. The implementation is straightforward since link resolution did not change w.r.t. RST implementation, it's almost only about new syntax addition. The only essential difference is a possibility to add a custom link description: form `[description][target]` which does not have an RST equivalent. * fix nim 1.0 gotcha
