Avoid save-match-data for efficiency

The functions markdown-cur-line-blank-p and markdown-new-baseline-p
are called repeatedly for font lock and so efficiency is important.
We rarely care about preserving the match data when calling these
functions, so we no longer guarantee that the match data will be
preserved for performance reasons.
