Subject: Change Rule 14 for Emphasis.

Previously the nesting Strong (Emph (...)) was preferred
over Emph (Strong (...)).  This change makes Emph (Strong (...))
preferred.

Note that the commonmark reference implementations
were not entirely consistent about this rule, giving
different results for

    ***hi***

and

    ***hi****

This change simplifies parsing.  It goes against the majority
of implementations, but only on something utterly trivial.
