allura:tv/6610

This is rebased to tv/6728, so that should be reviewed first.

I did a fresh gfarm import here: 
https://sf-tvansteenburgh-1020.sb.sf.net/p/test6549/gfarm-formatted/607/

Some tickets that show better formatting: 571, 612, 681, 594, 607

** [tickets:#6610] Convert trac syntax better**

**Status:** code-review

The Trac ticket export/import process doesn't handle the following syntax 
correctly:

* headings e.g. `== NOTE ==`
* preformatted blocks, using `{{{ ... }}}` -- this does seem to come through OK 
in comments, presumably because we're converting those differently
* lists that have no blank line preceding them, e.g. `blah blah\n* foo\n* bar`
* https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gfarm/ticket/594#comment:5 gets a `\n` 
incorrectly introduced between "merged into" and "2.6 branch"
* `----` for a horizontal line becomes a markdown heading if there is no blank 
line before it
* special characters that Markdown might interpret need to be escaped.  Simple 
example: `foo <a b c> bar`  Perhaps helpers.plain2markdown() will help.
* Make sure external links like `[http://google.com test]` work (I'm not sure) 


These are the issues I noticed - look through the Trac syntax reference to see 
if there are more.
