`asv compare` can create broken markdown tables when a parameter’s repr is multiple lines

E.g. I currently see:

| Change   | Before [c68557c5] <main>   | After [055b5c56]    |   Ratio | Benchmark (Parameter)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |

which isn’t valid markdown.

The problem in fixing this is is that tabulate seems unmaintained, and there is no community fork yet: astanin/python-tabulate#281

So we can’t expect that project to release a fix soon.

Seems like https://github.com/hvalev/py-markdown-table might be useful here.
