Markdown Transformation ViewHelper

Requires an installed "markdown" utility, the specific
implementation is less important since Markdown has no
configuration options. However, the utility or shell
scipt must:

- accept input from STDIN
- output to STDOUT
- place errors in STDERR
- be executable according to `open_basedir` and others
- exist within (one or more of) TYPO3's configured executable paths

In other words, *NIX standard behavior must be used.
