Stop using quotes for main content

The original intent of the mrkdwn quote was to emulate the attachments API's ability to add a coloured bar to content blocks. We don't want to use attachments because the API is technically deprecated. However, we've also found that the mrkdwn quote wraps poorly on Slack mobile views and has done so for many months now and is unlikely to be fixed upstream. To mitigate this we'll simply remove the quote from unfurlbot's messages.
