[Feature request] GFM support in `@vuepress/markdown`

[Mister-Hope]

Clear and concise description of the problem

I receive many users complaining that they are unable to use our tools to build a existing markdown folder in their project.

Mainly because we do not have full support of GFM.

It's good for us to support "standard" markdown files in GitHub.

Suggested solution

Add a new gfm option

Alternative

use vuepress-plugin-md-enhance with { gfm: true } option

[meteorlxy]

I'm planning to extract those md-it plugins to a standalone project

[Mister-Hope]

Any update with this one?

This one also needs review. @meteorlxy Answer these questions plz:

1. Shall the GFM feature be added to @vuepress/markdown or a new plugin called @vuepress/plugin-gfm? OR just close this pr to let vuepress-plugin-md-enhance support this?

2. What kind of GFM features shall we support? Additional thing including:

Rendering math fence and $$ blocks with mathjax

$$ a = 1 $$

```math
a = 1

$$ a = 1 $$

a = 1

Mermaid blocks with mermaid:

    subgraph one
    a1-->a2
    end
    subgraph two
    b1-->b2
    end
    subgraph three
    c1-->c2
    end
    one --> two
    three --> two
    two --> c2

Some of the features would generate large chunks, so what do we need to support?
