[Payment due][$250] Centralize `ExpensiMark` usage with a dedicated `Parser` module

[blazejkustra]

Proposal:

• Create a Parser lib, where ExpensiMark is going to be imported and initialized only once
• Forbid importing ExpensiMark from expensify-common globally (can be easily done with ESLint)
• (optional) Pass Onyx context with a new ExpensiMark method instead of wrapping parseHtmlToText, parseHtmlToMarkdown like in src/libs/OnyxAwareParser.ts.

This way, there will be only one instance of ExpensiMark, and src/libs/Parser will be used throughout the codebase. This will potentially prevent regressions like this going forward.

Problems

1. ExpensiMark methods (parseHtmlToText, parseHtmlToMarkdown) should always be used with Onyx context. Otherwise server is spammed with a lot of errors like this.
2. We introduced OnyxAwareParser a while ago, but we can't expect everybody to know it's mandatory to use it. Instead contributors often import ExpensiMark, initialize it and use it's methods, which causes problems (like here).
3. ExpensiMark is initialized 14 times in E/App.

Can we not use the existing OnyxAwareParser.ts with the needed modifications ?

[blazejkustra]

@ShridharGoel I think I'll reuse OnyxAwareParser.ts, but change the name to Parser to make it less verbose.

I'll come back to this issue early next week as I'm OOO 27-30.06.

Not overdue, waiting for Blazej to come back.
