Description

PR #4615 used the VS Code Markdown Linter to clean up our markdown a bit. It'd be nice if we could make this a part of our CI and just add it to the Invoke-CodeFormat tool in \tools\OpenConsole.psm1.

It looks like the PowerShell team is integrating at the project level, unsure about their CI integrations:

Research direction

Start in tools\OpenConsole.psm1 at the Invoke-CodeFormat tool, then review PR #4615 and the linked VS Code extension and settings examples. Determine how the Markdown Linter should be integrated into the existing CI and formatting flow; done means Markdown linting runs as part of that flow.
