Clarify the left- and right-flanking definitions (#534)
* Clarify the left- and right-flanking definitions A few more words make the definitions easier to understand, without changing the meaning. Links to the current definitions: - [left-flanking delimiter run](https://github.github.com/gfm/#left-flanking-delimiter-run) - [right-flanking delimiter run](https://github.github.com/gfm/#right-flanking-delimiter-run) * Change numbering to 1, 2a and 2b 1, 2a and 2b is more conventional than a, b1 and b2, which I suggested earlier.
