Continue to mention that Markdown expands all tabs to spaces
before doing anything else and that it guarantees to expaned
tabs withing ```-delimited code blocks to 8-character tab-stop
positions.
Otherwise always talk about "indent" levels in terms of 4
spaces per level.
There is far too much Markdown content in existence already
that assumes indenting by 4 spaces gives a new indent level.
That does not necessarily imply that all the creators of these
documents have incorrectly attempted to alter the hard-coded
terminal physical tab-stop settings from the fixed value of 8
to something else that the docs seemed to imply was 4.
Users with some other tab-stop setting were left out in the
cold by the docs. In particular, a tab-stop setting of 3 would
have rendered the examples completely useless and the text just
plain wrong.
With this change the docs no longer assume anything in particular
about the user's tab-stop settings.

The Markdown function can be called repeatedly, so
stop ignoring file arguments after the first one and
process them all just like the docs claim.

Tidy up the license and copyright information.

Get rid of ".text" extension.
Use standard "README" and "LICENSE" names for those.
The help files are markdown so make them have a .md extension.
Markdown.pl is kept as is (rather than changing it to markdown.pl)
because it's also a Perl module (Markdown) and Perl module names
typically start with an uppercase letter. Were it to be renamed
to a ".pm" it would end up being Markdown.pm NOT markdown.pm.

Some systems do not have a /usr/bin/perl but it will be in
the $PATH there so /usr/bin/env will be able to find it.

Handle ```-delimited code blocks earlier so that tabs within them
can be correctly expanded to 8-character tab stop positions and
also to avoid the result being incorrectly interpreted any further.

Options may now be passed in to the Markdown function and it
may be called multiple times with different options on different
texts with no unwanted interaction between the calls.
Simply `require "Markdown.pl"` and then call Markdown::Markdown.
Or something like this will import the `Markdown` function
regardless of whether it's available in Markdown.pl or Markdown.pm:
BEGIN {eval {require "Markdown.pl"}}
use Markdown qw(Markdown);

If --imageroot <prefix> is used, then <prefix> will be
prefixed to all generated URLs that are not absolute URLs
(i.e. any that do not start with a scheme or '//' and are
not email addresses) and end in an image extension. This
will override any --htmlroot <prefix> setting in that case.

Non-indented code blocks may be used by preceding them
with a line consisting of 3 (or more) ` characters and

Markdown.pl (incorrectly) expands hard tabs to spaces
using a tab stops set 4 spaces apart.
While it would be nice to fix this for code blocks, it
expands the tabs to spaces before doing anything else
so it would be non-trivial to do so.
Instead explain this deviant behavior in the help
files.
