Convert HTML comment content to markdown #1217

PT9 comment content is in HTML, but we don't display comments in PT10 as HTML. It would be nice to have clean conversion between the two so we don't show ugly HTML markup in PT10 or have PT10 comments show up with gibberish markdown characters in PT9.

I've sometimes wondered about using markdown for notes. We've done that one place in Paratext, but it's not a highly used area of the code. Seems for general users you would need a easy to use markdown editor. I was also wondering about users who do the formatting of their comments in Word and then paste in the result. This sometimes fails in Paratext because of the formatting they have done. Some consultants create fairly complex notes.
