Subject: [PATCH] org-footnote.el: Allow to inline external footnotes

* org-footnote.el (org-footnote-new): When point is at a
position where no footnote can be inserted, offer the menu
from `org-footnote-action' instead.
(org-footnote-inline-footnotes): New command.
(org-footnote-action): Make the new command accessible through
the menu.

Thanks to Leonard Randall for the suggestion.
