#1216: Parsing readme files fails on code blocks starting with `#

-----------------------+---------------------
 When WordPress.org parses `readme.txt` files for plugins, it will fail
 whenever a code block is opened and then immediately followed by a `#`.

 _Example_
 `
 #this-will fail
 `

 The section will be cut off at the first backtick (which will be visible
 in the parse result) and parsing will continue as usual in the next
 section.

 This behaviour can easily be replicated using the [Readme
 Validator](https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/validator/) using the
 attached readme.txt file.
