fix markdown footnote problem caused by pandoc

Add "<!-- BEFORE: 1st line of markdown file: FILE/PATH -->"
before the markdown content.  This line appears in the
generated HTML.

Add "<!-- AFTER: last line of markdown file: FILE/PATH -->"
after the markdown content.  This line appears in the
generated HTML.

We test a fix relating to problems produced by `pandoc(1)`
when footnotes are added at the end of generated HTML.
This test is made for `2000/bmeyer/index.html`.

Fixed exit 4 in `bin/md2html.sh that should be exit 5.

Changed `bin/md2html.sh` VERSION from to "1.3 2024-04-14"
to "1.4 2024-04-18".

Run `bin/readme2index.sh -v 1 2000/bmeyer` to perform the above.
