[IMP] runtime: add markup tag function

Allows markup to be called as a tag function. The interpolated strings
are then safely escaped for injection in HTML code.

Example usage:
```js
const maliciousInput = "<script>alert('💥💥')</script>";
const value = markup`<b>${maliciousInput}</b>`;
// no problem, maliciousInput is properly escaped
```
