Translate Discord Markdown formatting to/from IRC formatting about bitlbee-discord

Yes, translating incoming and outgoing bolds and italics would be a nice addition.

I don't know how long this has been the case, since I only started using bitlbee-discord last week, but I get <@root> discord - Error: Failed to send message (400). in &bitlbee when trying to send messages that contain (m)IRC formatting characters.

Outbound translation seems wise. Inbound is less important, because most of us can probably interpret the formatting characters sent by Discord through our experiences with Markdown in various applications.

I agree on the relative importance, and if it's too much hassle to make incoming translation optional, feel free to leave it out. It'd just seem odd to do IRC format parsing at all then only parse it one way, instead of optionally both ways.
