Upgrade dependency on remark to ^13 for compatibility with plugins

[marcofranssen]

Subject of the feature

Updating the remark version. I require at least remark 13.

Problem

Some of the remark plugins (e.g. remark-gfm) require an updated version of remark.

$ yarn install 
[remark-gfm] Warning: please upgrade to remark 13 to use this plugin

My dependencies are listed below. The problem started when I switched from remark-html to next-mdx-remote.

  "dependencies": {
    "@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core": "^1.2.35",
    "@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons": "^5.15.3",

    "next-remote-watch": "^1.0.0",

This is part of mdx 2 #1041
You can try out the remark 13 compatible version in the pre-release of version 2

@ChristianMurphy what would be the expected timeline for GA of version 2?

[ChristianMurphy]

Not exactly sure, the most recent I've heard was https://twitter.com/mdx_js/status/1340680033971687424, but that didn't quite pan out.

Another option is XDM (https://github.com/wooorm/xdm) which is a lighter implementation of MDX 2, which has remark ^13 on it's stable release.

@marcofranssen - did you find a solution to this? Also, does remark-gfm not work for you at all? It doesn't for me. I'm surprised it says warning than error if it isn't going to work at all.
