markdown: Fix HTML tables with mismatching columns (#41108)

Follow-up: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/39898

Right now, we don't fill the empty column when the current row count is
less than the max row count. This PR fixes that by filling it with an
empty cell. So the table columns don't flow in the wrong direction, as
you can see inside the first screenshot.

**Code example**
```html
<table>
    <tr>
        <th rowspan="2">Region</th>
        <th colspan="2">Revenue</th>
        <th rowspan="2">Growth</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <th>Q2 2024</th>
        <th>Q3 2024</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>North America</td>
        <td>$2.8M</td>
        <td>$2.4B</td>
        <td>+85,614%</td>
        <td>+99%</td> // extra column here
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Europe</td>
        <td>$1.2M</td>
        <td>$1.9B</td>
        <td>+158,233%</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Asia-Pacific</td>
        <td>$0.5M</td>
        <td>$1.4B</td>
        <td>+279,900%</td>
    </tr>
</table>
```
