Remove the rel and rev attributes from footnotes

Since the `rev` attribute has been removed from the HTML 5 spec and
the `rel` attribute doesn't accept `"footnote"` as a value anymore,
let's remove them from the generated output for footnotes.

It's still possible to have the previous behaviour with a custom
render object.

Fixes #536.

+* Remove the `rel` and `rev` attributes from the output generated
+  for footnotes as they don't pass the HTML 5 validation.

+  Fixes #536.

 * Automatically enable the `fenced_code_blocks` option passing a
   `HTML_TOC` object to the `Markdown` object's constructor since
   some languages rely on the sharp to comment code.
