Summary description: Converting and rendering markdown documents inside TeX

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Development:

- Add support for versioned themes and add new Lua option `experimental`.
(#466, #512, #514, [matrix.org][matrix-514] reviewed by @TeXhackse, #521)

The option `experimental` enables experimental features that are planned to
be the new default in the next major release of the Markdown package.

At the moment, this just means that the version `experimental` of the theme
`witiko/markdown/defaults` will be loaded and warnings for hard-deprecated
features will become errors. However, the effects may extend to other areas
in the future as well.

- Add first-class support for YAML documents. (#452, #473, #524)
- Add plain TeX macros `\yamlSetup`, `\yamlInput`, `\yamlBegin`, and `\yamlEnd`.
- Add LaTeX environment `yaml` and redefine command `\yamlInput` for LaTeX.
- Add ConTeXt commands `\setupyaml`, `\inputyaml`, `\startyaml`, and `\stopyaml`.

Documentation:

- Document LaTeX hooks. (#464, #507)

Defaults:

- Improve the compatibility of the default LaTeX packages with PDF tagging:
(#466, #512, #514, #521, reported and consulted by @u-fischer)

- In TeX engines other than LuaTeX, use the package soul instead of the
package soulutf8 in TeX Live ≥ 2023.

- In LuaLaTeX, use the package lua-ul for strike-through/mark renderer
prototypes instead of the package soul.

- Use the package enumitem for tight and fancy lists instead of the package
paralist.

This is a breaking change that is marked as experimental. To enable it,
either use the package option `experimental` or specify any test phase in
the document metadata:

1. `\usepackage[experimental]{markdown}`
2. `\DocumentMetadata{testphase=phase-III}`

- Define LaTeX renderers for image identifiers.
(#520, suggested by @jurf, 6f3dcd0c, 478530f, [matrix.org][matrix-520])

This establishes a reliable method for authors to reference figures within Markdown:

``` tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[link_attributes, relative_references]{markdown}
\begin{document}
\begin{markdown}

{#example-image-id}

See Figure <#example-image-id>.

\end{markdown}
\end{document}
```

- Set correct category codes for version 3 of the package minted. (39980934)

Continuous Integration:

- Only use self-hosted runners for the quick CI in pull requests.
For full CI outside pull requests, use GitHub-hosted runners.
