Markdown: no highlighting for sections after empty bullet / list

[kevinushey]

See screenshot:

I believe this is caused by the intermediate highlight rule listblock-start:

https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/blob/master/lib/ace/mode/markdown_highlight_rules.js#L92-L96
https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/blob/master/lib/ace/mode/markdown_highlight_rules.js#L152-L156

as that set has no 'exit' rule for this particular case. I'm guessing the intention for that rule was to support syntax highlighting for GitHub-style checkboxes, e.g.

- [ ]
- [x]

Any thoughts on if this can / should be handled?
