[Regression] Cannot escape Markdown sequences

[Luhav]

Describe the problem

Prior to Cinny v3, one could escape a Markdown sequence by placing a backslash before the sequence, preventing it from being rendered as Markdown. This appears to have been removed from Cinny v3.

Describe the solution you'd like

\ should once again escape Markdown sequences, as in Cinny v2

Alternatives considered

Simply toggling the Markdown on/off before each message is not a valid solution for the following reasons:

• It requires 4 steps to enable/disable Markdown every time I want to switch
• Sometimes I also want to mix Markdown with characters I don't want parsed, such as using an * for a footnote (instead of making a large chunk of message italic)

Additional context

This issue is very annoying, currently the only way to escape MD syntax seems to be with inline-code, which isn't ideal when I just want to write something that isn't supposed to be MD but isn't supposed to be code either.
