TdMarkdownComponent: td-markdown

<td-markdown> is a component that parses and renders Github flavored markdown. It is based on the showdown library.

Note: This module uses the DomSanitizer service to sanitize the parsed html from the showdown lib to avoid XSS issues.

By default, --dev build will log the following message in the console to let you know:

WARNING: sanitizing HTML stripped some content (see http://g.co/ng/security#xss).
