Support checkbox rendering for org-mode

skkzshrequested to merge
gitlab-community/gitlab-org/gitlab:skkzsh/org-task-list into master

Why

GitLab supports checkbox rendering in Markdown, but checkbox markers ([X], [ ]) in org-mode files are not rendered (Org-mode: support checkboxes (#14290)).

What this MR does

Introduces Banzai::Filter::OrgmodeCheckboxFilter to convert checkbox markers into HTML <input type="checkbox"> elements, matching the rendering of Markdown task lists.

Screenshots
