Add wysiwyg functionality to posts and comments

It should be customisable for the administrator of an instance if posts should be allowed with wysiwyg functionality.

Some things to consider:

• hyperlinks
• images in comments
• a location selected from a map in comments
• allowed tags when using (presumably) strip_tags should strip on posting AND displaying an existing post so that elements are stripped universally when that decision is made for an instance. Perhaps posts by the admin account itself should be excluded from this if we want that user to always have that ability -- I don't know if we do, it could be confusing. strip_tags on display of a post might also be ideal for phase 2.

https://github.com/ueberdosis/tiptap looks like a good option for adding hyperlinks and stuff. Perhaps hyperlinks should only be available in admin content. I suppose it could be down to the admin preference.

I'm no longer sure about having locations and images in comments, given that the content is lost if the post is deleted.

One possible solution is markdown. I was actually expecting the post body to use markdown, until I made my first post using some markdown syntax. Yes I am a coder, so maybe that's skewed my view - but markdown is incredibly common (e.g. reddit uses it), and js libraries to render and edit it wysiwyg exist. You've probably considered it already, so take this as you will - but a +1 for markdown from me :)

A basic WYSIWYG editor exists for editing the sidebar and announcements. If you saw this in the post body as well, would you prefer this over markdown or not?
