llm_translator: one line per rule, extended-Markdown rules, <translate>/<context> markers

Prompt rules are single-line bullets now (no wrapped continuation lines).
Added the extended-Markdown rules the site syntax needs: all formatting
is syntax and is preserved exactly (only the text is translated), and
single newlines inside paragraphs render as actual line breaks, so line
structure must survive untranslated. The payload is no longer wrapped in
a ```markdown fence — the site's extended syntax (and this document
renderer) makes fences unreliable as delimiters; instead an explicit
sentence marks the instruction/text boundary and the payload rides in
faux <translate> tags (<context> for the hybrid-neighbor reference
blocks). unwrap_output strips echoed markers, still also a whole-output
fence. Re-verified live against ollama qwen3.8:27b: title + article jobs,
URL/code fence/{dates} preserved.
