    Disable reference generation in preformatted/code blocks
    
    ### Summary
    
    If a user adds text in code or preformatted text via Markdown or HTML that contains `#XXX`, the system adds a note that issue `XXX` was mentioned. This is particularly annoying because we often list gdb backtrace dumps into our issues, and many issues get mentioned as a result. For example:
    
    ```
    (gdb) bt
    #0  0x00000000004004c4 in second () at main.cc:6
    #1  0x00000000004004d2 in first () at main.cc:11
    #2  0x00000000004004dd in main () at main.cc:17
    (gdb)
    ```
    
    ### Steps to reproduce
    
    1. In an issue, write the above text using Markdown or HTML tags (e.g. `<code>`, `<pre>`).
    2. Observe that [issue 1](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/1) and [issue 2](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/2) have a note that says they were mentioned.
    
    ### Expected behavior
    
    Everything enclosed in the code blocks should be ignored as references.
    
    ### Observed behavior
    
    Issues get referenced unnecessarily.
    
    ### Fix
    
    I've made `reference_extractor.rb` strip out HTML and Markdown blocks before processing. I considered running the raw text through the entire Markdown processor, but this seems overkill and perhaps could lead to some unintended side effects.
