Add support for code blocks in Markdown (PrismJS#1562)

It also supports syntax highlighting!

The highlighting is done in two steps:

1. Add an alias `language-****` containing the given language to the `code-block`
token.
    This happens in the `after-tokenize` hook.
2. Highlight the code with the `wrap` hook.

This is to get around the encoding (`util.encode`) of tokens in `Prism.highlight`.

By using this procedure we get the correct execution of the `before-tokenize`,
`after-tokenize`, and `wrap` hook for all included languages.
