Marktext should not renumber existing numbered lists

[N0rbert]

Description

Using MarkText with version control system become difficult because of renumbering lists.

Steps to reproduce

1. Have simple Markdown document with numbered list inside:

   Some text before list:
   
   1. First item
   1. Second item
   1. Third item
   
   Some text after list.
   

2. Open this document using MarkText

3. Save the document

Expected behavior:

the MarkText does not change the document

Actual behavior:

the MarkText changed the document contents and replaced second "1." and third "1." to "2." and "3.":

Some text before list:

1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item

Some text after list.

this behavior is unexpected and messes diifs in the version control systems. And it causes mdl to produce MD029 Ordered list item prefix rule violation.

Versions
