Fixes #2477.

Inline code, text that is nested within a pair of backquotes,
is now converted into GitHub Flavored Markdown (gfm) without
stripping out the backquotes. For example:

    The parameter `sum` must be a non-negative real number.

Code blocks, which are any number of lines of literal text
between triple-backquotes, and an optional programming language
name, are now preserved. If absent, the programming language
is assumed to be "kotlin". This follows the behavior of the
html renderer. For example:

    Here is an example of calling the function:
    ```kotlin
    val sum = addThemUp(left, right)
    ```

* minor: rename `DefaultRenderer.buildNewLine` to `buildLineBreak`
to better describe what it actually does.

* minor: rename `CommonmarRenderer.appendNewLine` to `buildNewLine`
for consistency.

* GFM renderer: cleanup paragraphs

* GFM renderer: cleanup tables

* GFM renderer: add tests for wrong header in table

Table with extra cell in row is really generated by `all-modules-page` plugin

* Remove commented-out lines

* Add BriefCommentPreprocessor which inserts a line break between a signature and a brief comment

Fixed a bug with `mapTransform` function which replaces table headers with their contents
