#23975: force_balance_tags in get_the_content breaks non-HTML formats

 The change in r11398 (to fix #9765) breaks Markdown formatted articles
 that use angle bracket links: `<http://example.com/>` turning it into
 `<http: //example.com></http:>`.

 If we call force_balance_tags after adding the more link, we need to
 establish filter hooks for formatters. This should have happened before
 r11398 already, but because balancing tags wasn't forced, this issue has
 not affected sites that disable balancing tags in their preferences.

 Typically formatters attach to the `the_content` filter (among others).
 This should probably change into a `get_the_content` filter (similar to
 `get_the_excerpt`) that is called early on the full content of the post.

 I haven't yet decided where the best place for the new filter would, or if
 it would be better to undo the force_balance_tags call.

 Thoughts? I could work on the change, but would rather prefer some input
 first.
