Merge branch 'project-refs-with-digit-prefix' into 'master'

Support referencing issues to a project whose name starts with a digit

Gitlab supports adding users or projects whose name starts with a "_" or a digit, but the regexp in markdown.rb enforces "a-zA-Z" for the first character.

This change allows to reference issues or merge requests in other projects whose name starts with a digit, like `owner/2ndtestproject#123` or `2nduser/superproject!123`.

See merge request !264
