Do not process HTML with QDomDocument

`QDomDocument` was used to replace `<del>` tags in Discount's output with `<s>`
tags.

`QDomDocument::setContent()` parses XML only. This usually works, because
Discount's HTML is usually valid XML. However, since it is in "Smartypants"
mode, Discount generates named character references in response to certain
inputs, e.g. `(c)` -> `©` and `...` -> `…`. These are valid HTML,
but most are not predefined in standard XML, and so QDomDocument refuses to
parse them.

This MR uses `QString::replace()` in place of `QDomDocument`.

I know it's generally frowned upon to process HTML by such simple approaches,
but within the constraints of HTML which Discount generates, I can't see a way
that this could go wrong.
