Dong b150663d45 markdown_preview: Support anchor link for headings (#53184)
## What does this PR did

- Generate [GitHub-flavored heading
slugs](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#section-links)
for markdown headings
- Handle `[label](#heading)` same-document anchor links that scroll the
preview and editor to the target heading
- Handle `[label](./file.md#heading)` cross-file anchor links that open
the file, scroll the preview, and move the editor cursor to the heading

## What to test

- [ ] Create a markdown file with `[Go to section](#section-name)`
links, verify clicking scrolls preview and editor
- [ ] Create two markdown files with cross-file links like `[See
other](./other.md#heading)`, verify file opens and preview scrolls to
heading
- [ ] Verify duplicate headings produce correct slugs (`heading`,
`heading-1`)
- [ ] Verify external URLs (`https://...`) are unaffected
