Intellisense tooltip applies text formatting on source code

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.25.1
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2018.7.0
• OS and version: Windows 10
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.7.0
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): venv

Actual behavior

The tooltip applies text formatting to the displayed code, e.g. wrapping text in underscores italicizes it.

Expected behavior

The tooltip shows the code as it is written in the source.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use the mypy linter
2. Define a variable in a class, using self, with underscores in its name
3. Assign a type to the variable with a type hint
4. Hover over it to see the Intellisense tooltip

Looks like the problem is, the text is tested as markdown text.
We might have to escape the text.

@Spanfile Please could you provide some complete sample code.
I cannot replicate this at my end.

@DonJayamanne A minimal sample:

class Test:
    def __init__(self):
        self._a_b: int = None

Python workspace settings:

{
    "python.pythonPath": "${workspaceFolder}\\venv\\Scripts\\python.exe",
    "python.linting.pylintEnabled": false,
    "python.linting.mypyEnabled": true,
    "python.jediEnabled": false
}

For Jedi there is no issue:

For the new language server there is a problem:

Yeah, tooltip is markdown so _a_b becomes italic
