When using the editor command in iamb, the temporary file currently has no file extension. This is probably a reasonable default behavior, but some users may want to hint to their editor a particular file type such as .md or .txt to make use of linters, formatters, spell checkers, or other file type specific editor configurations.

This PR ~~preserves the default behavior~~ sets the default suffix to .md while adding a external_edit_file_suffix configuration option which accepts a string to append to the end of the temporary file name passed to the users editor.
