Another low-hanging fruit

Hi,

This is another low hanging fruit. I was a bit annoyed to have to leave an
empty label for inlined footnotes (à la LaTeX)... I don't know if this
qualifies as a TINYCHANGE...

Best, /PA

Subject: [PATCH] Silent anonymous footnote creation

* lisp/org-footnote.el: Add symbol anonymous to `org-footnote-auto-label'.
With this, anonymous footnotes will be created. This is sometimes more
useful in long texts. Mimics \footnote{} in LaTeX.
