Markdown reader: more efficient base64 data URI parsing.

This patch borrows some code from @silby's PR #10434 and should
be regarded as co-authored.  This is a lighter-weight patch
that only touches the Markdown reader.

The basic idea is to speed up parsing of base64 URIs by parsing
them with a special path.  This should improve the problem
noted at #10075.

Benchmarks (optimized compilation):

Converting the large test.md from #10075 (7.6Mb embedded image)
from markdown to json,

before: 6182 GCs, 1578M in use, 5.471 MUT (5.316 elapsed), 1.473 GC (1.656 elapsed)

after: 951 GCs, 80M in use, .247 MUT (1.205 elapsed), 0.035 GC (0.242 elapsed)

For now we leave #10075 open to investigate improvements in
HTML rendering with these large data URIs.
