List items wrapped in <p> tags due to trailing space about micromark HOT 3 OPEN

Thanks for raising this issue.
I am working on a port of micromark in another language, which improves a couple of architectural things, likely also including this problem.
It's going to take a bit but I am planning to port those back.
In the meantime, perhaps you can find out how to fix this here now.

Hi! This was marked as ready to be worked on! Note that while this is ready to be worked on, nothing is said about priority: it may take a while for this to be solved.

Is this something you can and want to work on?

Team: please use the area/* (to describe the scope of the change), platform/* (if this is related to a specific one), and semver/* and type/* labels to annotate this. If this is first-timers friendly, add good first issue and if this could use help, add help wanted.

I think there are two possible places where this problem could be fixed:

1. micromark/dev/lib/compile.js::prepareList: When compiling to basic HTML, the events related to a list are preprocessed such that the items of a list without blank lines between items are compiled as <li>...</li> and items of a list with blank lines in at least one item are compiled as <li><p>...</p></li> (tight vs. loose lists). This preprocessing logic could be extended to ignore trailing blank lines which are part of the tokenized list.
2. micromark-core-commonmark/dev/lib/list.js::tokenizeListContinuation: The list continuation tokenizer could be modified to not only check whether the current line is a blank line but rather keep checking subsequent lines until a non-blank line is found that terminates the list and abort then, so that the blank lines (including non-empty blank lines, which are treated as list item prefixes + line endings) are excluded in the last list item.

I tend to prefer option 2, but I'm not sure whether that's easily done with a document parser as lines are parsed independently and content is parsed implicitly. Any comments and/or suggestions?
