mdwn: Don't enable alphabetically labelled ordered lists by default
This avoids misinterpreting initials ("C. S. Lewis was an author"), the abbreviation for Monsieur ("M. Descartes was a philosopher") and German page numbering ("S. 42") as ordered lists if they happen to begin a line. This only affects the default Discount implementation: Text::Markdown and Text::MultiMarkdown do not have this feature anyway. A new mdwn_alpha_list option can be used to restore the old interpretation.
