Pre-format dataflow page for the static site editor

Eric Schurter requested to merge ericschurter-master-patch-04184 into master

The Static Site Editor is almost ready to be rolled out to the GitLab Handbook. One of the key features is a WYSIWYG editing experience. However, the conversion between Markdown -> HTML for the purposes of displaying content in the WYSIWYG editor results in reformatting of all markdown that doesn't match the strict rules defined by the parser. This means that all * list items will get converted to -, all *emphasis* will be converted to use _emphasis_, and so on.

This is mostly a positive, as it enforces consistent and "proper" formatting of Markdown. However it does result in a noise MR if it is the first time the content is loaded into the Static Site Editor.

This MR is meant to pre-format this individual page so that subsequent edits using the Static Site Editor are less "noisy"
