QTextMarkdownImporter: Fix performance for non-trivial documents

While parsing the markdown document, each addition of text and
formats was triggering a relayout of the so far existing document,
leading to quadratic behavior and very bad performance for any
non-trivial markdown document.

Guard the changes while parsing with a begin/endEditBlock to
avoid these intermediate updates.

The performance impact can for example be observed with the
markdown editor in Qt Creator (11+).
