Plugin extensions

The following plugins are embedded within the core package (enabled when using the "default" preset configuration):

Other plugins are then available via the mdit_py_plugins.

``markdown_it.extensions`` is now deprecated and plugins have been moved to
[`mdit_py_plugins`](https://github.com/executablebooks/mdit-py-plugins)

from markdown_it import MarkdownIt
from mdit_py_plugins import plugin1, plugin2
md = MarkdownIt().use(plugin1, keyword=value).use(plugin2, keyword=value)
html_string = md.render("some *Markdown*")

myst_blocks and myst_role plugins are also available, for utilisation by the MyST renderer

There are also many other plugins which could easily be ported (and hopefully will be):
