John MacFarlane add83e8169 Markdown reader: make definition lists behave like other lists.
If the `four_space_rule` extension is not enabled,
figure out the indentation needed for child blocks dynamically,
by looking at the first nonspace content after the `:` marker.

Previously the four-space rule was always obeyed.

Remove the old `compact_definition_lists` extension. This was
neded to preserve backwards compatibility after pandoc 1.12
was released, but at this point we can get rid of it.

T.P.Extensions: remove `Ext_compact_definition_lists` constructor
for `Extension` [API change].

Fix tight/loose detection for definition lists, to conform to
the documentation.

Closes #10889.

This inserts an empty \item[] when a list occurs at the beginning of a definition list definition; otherwise the list may start on the line with the label, which looks terrible. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/192480/force-itemize-inside-description-onto-a-new-line
