Asciidoc markdown block

Block extension to filter text like:

    [markdown]
    --
    Filter some text with [Markdown](https://commonmark.org/help/) syntax.
    --

This is not implemented with a full Markdown parser.
See asciidoctor/kramdown-asciidoc#7
with a link to the "naive series of regexes" used as starting point.

(And note that we use Open structural context
https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/blocks/delimited/#summary-of-structural-containers
with `--` delimiters, and headings don’t work inside these.)

This feature is intended for handling OpenAPI specs, which can contain Markdown,
however openapi-generator has poor Asciidoc handling
OpenAPITools/openapi-generator#11396
so instead we add the block delimiters in the template, and let the block filter handle it.
