RDoc::Markdown.parse crashes with invalid inline note

[zelivans]

This bug is similar to #654, but the context is different and the bug itself is in another method.

Raw crash

Example input

Explanation

It seems the _InlineNote method is called before note_order is initialized, and _InlineNote does not expect it to be nil, calling length on it without checking its value, resulting in a unhandled NoMethodError.
