Chandler CarruthandRichard Smith cfd1ed8484 Switch from Prettier to Rumdl for Markdown formatting (#7423)
Rumdl already appears to have _significantly_ fewer bugs than prettier,
and a solid LSP for editor integration.

The tool is: https://github.com/rvben/rumdl/

I've separated out the change across three commits for easier review.

The configuration tries to match the existing formatting, the changes to
the all the files are to correct issues found by the new tool.
