Stash "Create Task" comment does not support Markdown; inconsistent with other comments

Please add Markdown support to "Create Task" comments. They don't appear to support Markdown (at least not in 3.4; I'm not sure when our admin staff plans to upgrade our Stash installation), which is odd because they essentially behave like a regular comment but with a checkbox added.

(For that matter, just make all the comments convertible into a Create Task. It seems odd that you have to comment first and then create a task attached to the comment... shouldn't I be able to just create a task from scratch as a new comment?)
