genmarkdown: add optional frontmatter- and linkadjustment-funcs

The automatic Markdown generator works great!

But to use it to render the documentation in Hugo, we need front matter and slightly different links.

This commit adds optional callback funcs to add that.

+## Customize the output
+
+Both `GenMarkdown` and `GenMarkdownTree` has alternate versions with callbacks to get some control of the output:
+
+```go
+func GenMarkdownTreeCustom(cmd *Command, dir string, filePrepender func(string) string, linkHandler func(string) string) {
+    //...
+}
+```
+
+```go
+func GenMarkdownCustom(cmd *Command, out *bytes.Buffer, linkHandler func(string) string) {
+    //...
+}
+```
+
+The `filePrepender` will prepend the return value given the full filepath to the rendered Markdown file. A common use case is to add front matter to use the generated documentation with [Hugo](http://gohugo.io/):
+
+```go
+const fmTemplate = `---
+date: %s
+title: "%s"
+slug: %s
+url: %s
+---
+`
+
+filePrepender := func(filename string) string {
+	now := time.Now().Format(time.RFC3339)
+	name := filepath.Base(filename)
+	base := strings.TrimSuffix(name, path.Ext(name))
+	url := "/commands/" + strings.ToLower(base) + "/"
+	return fmt.Sprintf(fmTemplate, now, strings.Replace(base, "_", " ", -1), base, url)
+}
+```
+
+The `linkHandler` can be used to customize the rendered internal links to the commands, given a filename:
+
+```go
+linkHandler := func(name string) string {
+	base := strings.TrimSuffix(name, path.Ext(name))
+	return "/commands/" + strings.ToLower(base) + "/"
+}
+```
