Fix Matrix formatting: build HTML directly instead of markdown conversion

The markdown library's conversion collapsed blockquote lines into a
single paragraph, causing all deal info to render on one line in Matrix
clients. Build HTML directly with <br> tags for reliable line breaks.
Also adds html.escape() for proper escaping of titles and prices, and
removes the unused markdown dependency.

"""Message formatting for Matrix deal posts.
Produces both a plain-text fallback and HTML formatted body for Matrix messages.
HTML is built directly using the Matrix-supported HTML subset rather than going
through a Markdown-to-HTML converter, which collapses line breaks.
