New: add start_at option to export a partial vault
This introduces a new `--start-at` CLI argument and corresponding
`start_at()` method on the Exporter type that allows exporting of only a
given subdirectory within a vault.

See the updated README file for more details on when and how this may be
used.

new: postprocessing support
Add support for postprocessing of Markdown prior to writing converted
notes to disk.

Postprocessors may be used when making use of Obsidian export as a Rust
library to do the following:

1. Modify a note's `Context`, for example to change the destination
   filename or update its Frontmatter.
2. Change a note's contents by altering `MarkdownEvents`.
3. Prevent later postprocessors from running or cause a note to be
   skipped entirely.

Future releases of Obsidian export may come with built-in postprocessors
for users of the command-line tool to use, if general use-cases can be
identified.

For example, a future release might include functionality to make notes
more suitable for the Hugo static site generator. This functionality
would be implemented as a postprocessor that could be enabled through
command-line flags.

New: Add --no-recursive-embeds to break infinite recursion cycles
It's possible to end up with "recursive embeds" when two notes embed
each other. This happens for example when a `Note A.md` contains
`![[Note B]]` but `Note B.md` also contains `![[Note A]]`.

By default, this will trigger an error and display the chain of notes
which caused the recursion.

Using the new `--no-recursive-embeds`, if a note is encountered for a
second time while processing the original note, rather than embedding it
again a link to the note is inserted instead to break the cycle.

New: Report file tree when RecursionLimitExceeded is hit
This refactors the Context to maintain a list of all the files which
have been processed so far in a chain of embeds. This information is
then used to print a more helpful error message to users of the CLI when
RecursionLimitExceeded is returned.
