Treat inline code blocks like <code> instead of <tt> in dokuwiki writer (#386)

Done because I noticed that in the Autolinks section of writer.dokuwiki, the URL in inlined code was getting auto-linked, when it wasn't supposed to.

This also meant that any inline code examples that had text that looked like dokuwiki syntax could break the formatting of later text.
