Support Link Entities by embracing Markdown syntax when posting #28

I would love to see wry to user Markdown for both reading and writing posts as it would allow creating and reading posts with Link Entities.

Currently, the link contained in link entities is stripped when accessing the post with "wry read". Instead, the link could be included by translating the post to Markdown syntax.

In a similar fashion, people can post link entities with Markdown:

wry post "Where is the next [Apple Store](http://www.apple.com/retail)?"

I am not proposing supporting more than links here. Other markdown features like bold and italic formatting, lists etc. should be ignored.
