gitlab-flavored markdown removes line breaks from list items

Created by: jbohren

Summary:

In a paragraph of text, gitlab-flavored markdown renders line breaks in the raw file as line breaks in the HTML, but line breaks in bulletted list items are ignored.

Steps to reproduce:

Add the following to a .md file in a repository in gitlab, and view the file with the gitlab web interface:

A list:

* this line is long and it has no breaks no breaks no breaks no breaks no breaks no breaks
* this line is long and it has a break a break a break a break a break a break
  HERE
* this line is short and has no breaks
* this line is short and has a break
  HERE
* another line
* another line
   * another line, nested, and with a break
     HERE
   * yet another line

Expected behavior:

The rendered text should break the lines (all "HERE"s should be on separate lines) to be consistent with the behavior of line breaks in paragraphs when rendered with gitlab-flavored markdown.

Observed behavior:

The line breaks are removed from the list items:
