Fix source position mapping in markdown with frontmatter

Thomas Chandelle requested to merge tchandelle/gitlab:353513-frontmatter-sourcepos into master

What does this MR do and why?

Ensure that the spaces before and after the frontmatter are kept.

This allows the source-position data to be accurate. This is required for task lists

Fixes #353513 (closed)

How to set up and validate locally

1. [ ] Check this.
2. [ ] Check this too!
  1. By inspecting the rendered HTML, it should be noted that the task items have the correct source position: data-sourcepos="6:1-8:0". Previously, the position would be incorrect: data-sourcepos="5:1-7:0"
  2. You should be able to check both tasks.
