The `/raw/:topic_id` endpoint was exposing hidden posts to users who shouldn't s…ee them, while `/raw/:topic_id/:post_number` correctly filtered them via `guardian.can_see?`. This inconsistency meant anonymous users and regular users could see hidden post content when fetching a whole topic as markdown. Also refactors `markdown_num` into smaller private methods for clarity.
