markdown: Make base path optional, always generate links

The base path being optional in the Caddyfile is convenient when you just want the whole site to be markdown-enabled. The other change is to always generate links... this is because an index page for markdown files may not be statically generated, but it should still show links. Commit 09341fc was a regression, and this fixes it.
