Fix list tightness and ending line numbers

We fix issues with list tightness by using a different strategy:

1. Compare the end and start lines of adjoining elements
   to check tightness. (This required tweaking the end
   position of some block types to exclude trailing blank
   lines.)

2. Delay removal of link reference definitions until the
   entire document is parsed.

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -13,6 +13,13 @@ Updates should follow the [Keep a CHANGELOG](https://keepachangelog.com/) princi
     - Remove restrictive limitation on inline comments
     - Unicode symbols now treated like punctuation (for purposes of flankingness)
     - Trailing tabs on the last line of indented code blocks will be excluded
+- `Paragraph`s only containing link reference definitions will be kept in the AST until the `Document` is finalized
+    - (These were previously removed immediately after parsing the `Paragraph`)

+### Fixed

+- Fixed list tightness not being determined properly in some edge cases
+- Fixed incorrect ending line numbers for several block types in various scenarios
