Convert postprocessordirectives into preprocessordirectives, so they are

expanded before markdown. Consequences:

 - No need to worry about markdown messing with parameters of
   preprocessordirectives. (If you had to escape stuff in one before, you'll
   need to undo that escaping now.)
 - No need for ugly </p> hacks before inlined subpages. Instead, subpages
   are wrapped in a <div>, and this prevents markdown from touching them.
   (This can also be used to add style to subpages.)
 - rss generation is less of a hack.

 * If a file in the srcdir is removed, exposing a file in the underlaydir,
   ikiwiki will not notice the change and rebuild it until the file in the
   underlaydir gets a mtime newer than the mtime the removed file had.
-* Markdown will try to expand stuff inside postprocessordirectives. For
