RST reader: don't insert paragraphs where docutils doesn't.

rst2html doesn't add `<p>` tags to list items (even when they are
separated by blank lines) unless there are multiple paragraphs in the
list.  This commit changes the RST reader to conform more closely to
what docutils does.

Closes #880.
