Semi-fix for Firefox code Copy and Paste

The underlieing problem is that Firefox ignores the css 'white-space:pre'
rule when actually copying and pasting. This Javascript turns newlines
into <br /> tags inside the code containers.

This will run in Safari, Opera, Chrome, Webkit, etc. gracefully.
This will not run in IE due to IE not having the methods needed.

A permanent solution would be at the Markdown level in such a way that
the highlighter still runs on the output with brake tags.
