compose: Use class to find markdown_preview related elements.

We convert the following elements to use a class instead of id for accessing them across the codebase: * markdown_preview * undo_markdown_preview * markdown_preview_spinner * message_edit_content * preview_content Converted them together since changes to one impacted the other in some modules like click_handlers. Also, added a function in rows to get `message_row`.
