Drop Markdown support in bio field

Magdalena Frankiewicz requested to merge add-bio-prefix into master

What does this MR do?

This MR drops the support for Markdown in bio field on user profile page and in user pop-over. Read the discussion below to understand why; in short - supporting Markdown makes bio vulnerable and poses security concerns.

Note: Users API was exposing both bio and bio_html.
