Markdown filter: when text that has emphasis at the beginning of a paragraph, a separate DocumentPart is generated for the first "*"

Currently, when a paragraph starts with an inline markdown, for example:

*RED WINE* is a nice beverage.

the markdown filter separates the first marker character from the rest, and generates two event, a DocumentPart that contains only the marker character, and a TextUnit that contains the rest.

Because of this, the extracted text in XLIF looks like this:

<source xml:lang="en">RED WINE<x id="1"/> is a nice beverage.</source>

Suppose a translation requires a change of the word order, and the translated word corresponding to RED WINE moves to a different position. For example:

<target xml:lang="zz">Egareveb ecin a si ENIW DER<x id="1"/>.</target>

The merged markdown file will look like this:

*Egareveb ecin a si ENIW DER*.

causing the entire paragraph to be emphasized.

Markdown filter should not separate the first marker character from the rest and make a TextUnit that contains the entire paragraph. The extraction should result in something like:

<source xml:lang="en"><x id="1"/>RED WINE<x id="2"/> is a nice beverage.</source>
