#3907: Gutenberg runs wpautop before Syntaxhighlighter runs its shortcodes

---------------------+-------------------------
 The Syntaxhighlighter plugin runs its shortcodes on `the_content` at
 priority 7, which is usually before `wpautop` runs, at priority 10.

 The Gutenberg plugin moves `wpautop` to priority 6, which causes all sorts
 of weirdness. You can see it easily fixed by applying this change:

 This bug should be fixed by switching from the Gutenberg plugin to
 WordPress 5.0, but a workaround would be a mu-plugin that changes the
 priority of `parse_shortcodes`.
