Editor preview support for external renderers (#23333)

Remove `[repository.editor] PREVIEWABLE_FILE_MODES` setting that seemed
like it was intended to support this but did not work. Instead, whenever
viewing a file shows a preview, also have a Preview tab in the file
editor.

Add new `/markup` web and API endpoints with `comment`, `gfm`,
`markdown` and new `file` mode that uses a file path to determine the
renderer.

Remove `/markdown` web endpoint but keep the API for backwards and
GitHub compatibility.

## ⚠️ BREAKING ⚠️

The `[repository.editor] PREVIEWABLE_FILE_MODES` setting was removed.
This setting served no practical purpose and was not working correctly.
Instead a preview tab is always shown in the file editor when supported.
