Markdown.pl: be more flexible parsing backticks-delimited code blocks

Allow leading spaces before the backticks delimiters on the starting
and ending lines (up to one less than the indent width).

Then remove upto that number of leading spaces (based on the starting
backticks delimiter line) from each of the lines in the code block
itself.

This better matches how lax some other formatters are with backticks-
delimited code blocks parsing.
