Add support for language-aware word wrap

[richeklein]

Requesting to reopen issue #94674 to add support for language-aware word wrap (also see #102999). As VS Code is becoming the Markdown editor of choice for many developers, improving the readability of wrapping list elements while editing Markdown documents, would improve the overall dev experience.

Currently, the closest you can get to achieving proper list alignment is setting wrappingIndent and tabSize, but unfortunately, that results in improper indentation on regular paragraphs.

"[markdown]": {
  "editor.wordWrap": "on",
  "editor.wrappingIndent": "indent",
  "editor.tabSize": 2
},

Here's a potential before and after view of how properly aligned wrapping Markdown lists could look in the VS Code editor.
