Before we release 1.4, we should do another pass over our filter chain and find wins. The new AST should facilitate that somewhat.

Some specific things:

do a pass over all of our Blocks = ... filters to see if we can put them behind a flags.lua flag
see if we can coalesce passes into combineFilters
consider replacing all markdownToInlines calls with string_to_quarto_ast_blocks, which does more work.

(cc @dragonstyle, I'll want to pair with you to go over some of this)
