Add support for markdown spoiler tags

Long story short, I think this site would benefit if the markdown editor here supported spoiler tags (hidden unless the reader hovers their mouse over the spoilered text). Could use the discord-style ||spoiler text|| syntax, could use the StackOverflow/Reddit-style >!spoiler text!< synatax, whichever’s easiest to implement

Why?

It would make it easier to give feedback to creators about any issues encountered at certain points of their game, being able to state where in the game the problem is, without running the risk of accidentally ruining the experience for any other players.

For example, if I were to encounter a game-breaking bug at a specific point in the end of the game which I wanted to inform the game’s creator about, the current ‘safe’ thing to do is to just vaguely hint at it, as trying to give specifics might spoil the experience for others (which is a bit rude). However. by supporting spoiler tags, it would make it possible to give this specific feedback, without risking a negative impact on the experiences of others.
