Implements a CustomTextEditor for markdown (.md) files.
Our CustomTextEditor implementation (called MarkdownEditorProvider) is defined in markdownEditor.js and registers a webview to show the user when that editor is active
Communication between the webview and VS Code is done using vscode.postMessage and is described here
The method getHtmlForWebview defines what this webview looks like, in our case importing and rendering a custom CKEditor5 build for markdown from the folder ckeditor5-build-markdown. It then runs markdownEditorInitScript inside the webview to register.
