Use markdown-css-paths as a file local variable #834

Expected Behavior

I would like to set markdown-css-paths as a file-local-variable for
use with markdown-export.

Actual Behavior

  1. The markdown-css-paths variables is marked unsafe which makes
    using it as a file local variable pretty unergonomic.
  2. The exported HTML doesn't import the stylesheet if set as a file
    local variable.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a file test.md with the following contents:

    <!-- -*- markdown-css-paths: ("./stylesheet.css"); -*- -->
    # Test #
    Test.
  2. Create a stylesheet.css in the same directory:

    h1 {
        padding: 10px;
    }
  3. Run normal-mode to make sure that the local variable is loaded
    and answer yes.

  4. Run markdown-export

  5. Observe the output:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    	    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    
    <head>
    <title>test.html</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"/>
    
    </head>
    
    <body>
    
    <!-- Local Variables: -->
    <!-- markdown-css-paths: ("./stylesheet.css") -->
    <!-- End: -->
    <h1 id="test">Test</h1>
    <p>Testa</p>
    
    </body>
    </html>

    Specifically: no reference to stylesheet.css.
