    Drop backslash escapes that Markdown does not need
    
    Pages converted from APT with an older doxia-converter carry an escape in front of
    punctuation that is not markup where it stands: a hyphen or underscore inside a word,
    a parenthesis, a full stop after a letter. The backslash renders as nothing and only
    makes the source harder to read and to edit.
    
    Only positions where the bare character can never be markup are touched. A full stop
    after a digit keeps its escape, so an ordered list marker cannot appear by accident,
    and angle brackets keep theirs, since <escapeString> would otherwise be read as a tag.
    Code spans, fenced blocks and link destinations are left alone.
