Markdown: Sanitizier Configuration (#9075)

* Support custom sanitization policy

Allowing the gitea administrator to configure sanitization policy allows
them to couple external renders and custom templates to support more
markup. In particular, the `pandoc` renderer allows generating KaTeX
annotations, wrapping them in `<span>` elements with class `math` and
either `inline` or `display` (depending on whether or not inline or
block mode was requested).

This iteration gives the administrator whitelisting powers; carefully
crafted regexes will thus let through only the desired attributes
necessary to support their custom markup.

Resolves: #9054

* Document new sanitization configuration

 - Adds basic documentation to app.ini.sample,
 - Adds an example to the Configuration Cheat Sheet, and
 - Adds extended information to External Renderers section.

* Fix plural ELEMENT and ALLOW_ATTR in docs

These were left over from their initial names. Make them singular to
conform with the current expectations.

+If your external markup relies on additional classes and attributes on the generated HTML elements, you might need to enable custom sanitizer policies. Gitea uses the [`bluemonday`](https://godoc.org/github.com/microcosm-cc/bluemonday) package as our HTML sanitizier. The example below will support [KaTeX](https://katex.org/) output from [`pandoc`](https://pandoc.org/).
+
+```ini
+[markup.sanitizer]
+; Pandoc renders TeX segments as <span>s with the "math" class, optionally
+; with "inline" or "display" classes depending on context.
+ELEMENT = span
+ALLOW_ATTR = class
+REGEXP = ^\s*((math(\s+|$)|inline(\s+|$)|display(\s+|$)))+
+
+[markup.markdown]
+ENABLED         = true
+FILE_EXTENSIONS = .md,.markdown
+RENDER_COMMAND  = pandoc -f markdown -t html --katex
+```
+
+You may redefine `ELEMENT`, `ALLOW_ATTR`, and `REGEXP` multiple times; each time all three are defined is a single policy entry. All three must be defined, but `REGEXP` may be blank to allow unconditional whitelisting of that attribute.
+
 Once your configuration changes have been made, restart Gitea to have changes take effect.
