Previously, any sort of "rich" markup for a definition list's label would cause the Markdown parser to not recognize a definition list:

md = <<~md
`one`
:    This is a definition
md

doc = RDoc::Markdown.parse(md)
doc # => [doc: [para: "<code>one</code>\n: This is a definition"]]

This commit tweaks the grammar for Markdown definition lists so that labels can include "rich" markup such as bold (**), code (```), etc:

md = <<~md
`one`
:    This is a definition
md

doc = RDoc::Markdown.parse(md)
doc # => [doc: [list: NOTE [item: ["<code>one</code>"]; [para: "This is a definition"]]]]

The PHP Markdown Extra Spec does not seem to specify whether or not this should be allowed, but it is allowed in the RDoc format:

rdoc = <<~rdoc
+code+::
    This is a definition
rdoc

doc = RDoc::Markup.parse(rdoc)
doc # => [doc: [list: NOTE [item: ["+code+"]; [para: "This is a definition"]]]]

so accepting this change increases the parity of the two formats.
