Make `plain` output plainer.
Previously we used the following Project Gutenberg conventions for plain output: - extra space before and after level 1 and 2 headings - all-caps for strong emphasis `LIKE THIS` - underscores surrounding regular emphasis `_like this_` This commit makes `plain` output plainer. Strong and Emph inlines are rendered without special formatting. Headings are also rendered without special formatting, and with only one blank line following. To restore the former behavior, use `-t plain+gutenberg`. API change: Add `Ext_gutenberg` constructor to `Extension`. See #5741.
