markdown: nested lists should require 2 space, not 4

Created by: Necroskillz

Gitlab markdown behaves inconsistently for nested lists. for the 2nd level, it's renders correctly with 2 spaces, but then for deeper levels it requires 4 spaces. This breaks lists generated by https://github.com/jsdoc2md/jsdoc-to-markdown a bit.

Example: source:

* level 1
  * level 2
    * level 3
      * level 4

result: image

with 4 spaces for level 3 & 4: source

* level 1
  * level 2
      * level 3
          * level 4

result: image

github renders it correctly with 2 spaces:

  • level 1
    • level 2
      • level 3
        • level 4
