Allow rel="license" microformat for machine-readable Creative Commons attribution

Brett Walker requested to merge 20857-allow-rel-license-microformat-in-redcarpet-gfm-sanitization-so-that-machine-readable-creative into master

What does this MR do and why?

We no longer sanitize the rel="license" attribute from HTML link. This allows license attribution, such as the Creative Commons license

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Add this html to a comment or description.

    <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/88x31.png" /></a><br />This work is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License</a>.

  2. save it and then verify that rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener license" exists in the link, using Inspect Element to view the DOM
