Additional Markdown Support

📝 Provide a description of the new feature

I would love more comprehensive markdown support, primarily support using other markdown standards other than just GFM.

What is the expected behavior of the proposed feature?

Create a @ckeditor/ckeditor5-markdown package that provides a data processor, with configuration options to allow CommonMark / Markdown 1.0 support (currently supported in marked.js, the markdown compiler currently used for @ckeditor/ckeditor5-markdown-gfm).

Hi, thanks for the request. Out of curiosity, where such a requirement comes from, is it related to some external integrations, or is simply a matter of preference?

Unfortunately from my experience many projects and companies use small variations on markdown to fit their use case specifically. I would love for the editor to be able to natively support that without having to parse the output after.

Just some more context here given I am now at my desk - at my company we use an ever so slightly modified version of common mark - in our case we cant use CKEditor as it will not render properly.

I am happy to take a crack at this plugin and see if I can get this working!
