[REQUEST] add breaks option to Markdown

[mroch]

in Markdown, a newline in a paragraph is a "soft break", unless it is preceded by two spaces or a backslash to make it a "hard break". soft breaks are rendered as spaces; hard breaks are rendered as line breaks.

MarkdownIt has a breaks=True option that renders softbreaks as a line break. I'd like that option on rich.markdown.Markdown too.

i'm thinking this is an easy "\n" if self.breaks else " " here:

rich/rich/markdown.py

Lines 613 to 616 in 349042f

	elif node_type == "hardbreak":
	context.on_text("\n", node_type)
	elif node_type == "softbreak":
	context.on_text(" ", node_type)
