Use `_` as default character for emphasis and `*` for strong text

Enrique Alcántara requested to merge 227856-configure-emphasis-syntax into master

What does this MR do?

It modifies Toast UI’s HTML to Markdown converter to allow specifying the syntax to make text strong or emphasized when generating Markdown from the WYSIWYG editor. By default, the strong character will be * and the emphasis character will be _ following the Handbook Markdown guide. For example:

**Strong text**
_emphasized text_

How to test?

Open a markdown document in the Static Site Editor. In your local environment, you can open http://127.0.0.1:3000/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/-/sse/master%2FREADME.md. Add a list and a sublist using the editor:

2020-07-15_09.34.12

When switching from WYSIWYG mode to Markdown mode or saving the changes, you should see that text.
