Removed dead marked and debug dependencies from kg-simplemde

[9larsons]

Why

kg-simplemde is a vendored SimpleMDE fork carrying two dependencies that nothing uses. Found during a depcheck audit of koenig packages.

What

• marked (dependency) — the only source reference is a commented-out require (// var marked = require("marked");) followed by var marked; (undefined) and an if(marked) guard that is therefore always false. It was deliberately disabled ("disable marked to reduce filesize - Ghost uses its own renderer"), so the package is dead weight.
• debug (devDependency) — no live require('debug'). The debug tokens in gulpfile.js all refer to the separate gulp-debug package and to task/output-dir names, not this package.

Notes

Vendored package with no test/lint/build npm scripts (build is a checked-in gulp pipeline), so verification is by source inspection — confirmed neither dep is referenced anywhere in src/ or gulpfile.js. Left the rest of the vendored gulp toolchain untouched.
