Instead, we move to the more modern recommendation (per the MyST docs) of using the "colon" syntax for directive options.

Would it make sense to have a way for people to opt-out of the newer formatting with a configuration option or do you think most people would prefer these changes?

I understand this PR might be much more controversial than #48 but I put it "on top" to be more convenient for what I believe to be the "typical" mdformat_myst user---someone who wants to use large the latest and greatest MyST conventions and just wants a formatter that works out-of-the-box.
Happy to squash/split, or otherwise modify commits as necessary! For example, if just this change might go in independentlyof #48, I can easily split off f5a3bd5
Fixes #47
