Markdown processing: replace " entities

cmark-gfm's behavior seems to have changed when I upgraded it, and it's
now producing " entities instead of normal double-quote characters.
This was breaking syntax-highlighting, so this simply replaces all the
entities back to normal double-quotes. This is maybe a little risky to
do without doing it as part of proper HTML parsing, but I think it
should overall be pretty safe.

# cmark (and cmark-gfm) replaces double-quote characters with the " entity.
# This is almost always unnecessary, and is causing issues with some of the HTML
# processing, since (for example) BeautifulSoup will convert them back, which causes
# the string-replacement in apply_syntax_highlighting() to fail if a code block
# contains any double-quote characters.
#
# We'll just do a full replacement here - this has a possibility of being dangerous,
# but it should be extremely unlikely and the sanitization function should make sure
# that nothing malicious can happen regardless.
