Fix: Recognize notes beginning with underscores

Notes with an underscore would fail to be recognized within Obsidian
`[[_WikiLinks]]` due to the assumption that the underlying Markdown
parser (pulldown_cmark) would emit the text between [[ and ]] as a
single event.

The note parser has now been rewritten to use a more reliable state
machine which correctly recognizes this corner-case (and likely some
others).
