markdown: Add support for `colspan` and `rowspan` for HTML tables (#39898)

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/39837

This PR adds support for `colspan` feature that is only supported for
HTML tables. I also fixed an edge case where the right side border was
not applied because it didn't match the total column count.

    </tr>
</table>
```

**TODO**:
- [x] Add tests for rending logic
- [x] Test all the tables again
