Description

Nowadays, markdown is much more used and known compared with textile. Also, in Redmine, Markdown has better support.

My proposal is to change the default setting from textile to markdown.

Since it is not possible to change the text formatter setting for each project in Redmine, there is also the problem that it is difficult to change to Markdown once you start using it with Textile.
I think it's better to use the commonly used Markdown as the default.

Markdown is used in many text systems (GitHub, Slack, ...etc). Therefore, setting this as the default will improve portability.

it's possible using grep, sed, and pandoc. but it's a real PITA
