Add WYSIWYG Markdown editor to Lektor

[mvartanyan]

Lektor will be the core component of Lektorium. Because the idea is that non-technical people will author content, it is crucial to have a possibility to edit content in a WYSIWYG fashion. The most common way of working with rich content now is Markdown, so the idea is to build in a frontend Markdown editor like Toast UI Editor. Apparently, Lektor is about to add this feature soon.

This task is to: 

* Review the status of issue 7, issue 665 in Lektor and find out how close they are to integrating the editor into the release
* If the assessment is that they are more than a month away from integrating, make a fork of Lektor and integrate (possibly sending back a pull request for Lektor in the end).

I saw this issue linked from the Lektor bug tracker. There is no ETA on the pull request as the author has not yet made the final adjustments required to get it merged. Once the requested changes have been made (anyone is free to make them) the PR will get merged.

Wanted to add that you can also consider https://banglejs.dev/, which comes baked in with WYSIWYG Markdown support, see this example https://banglejs.dev/docs/examples/markdown-editor.
