Enhance the link plugin to handle external links.

The following ways to create a link are supported now:
[[url]]
[[text|url]]
url can be one of the following:
- an internal wikilink: will be handled as before
- any other kind of URL, including mailto: proper links will be created:
  <a href="url">url</a>
  <a href="url">text</a>
- an email address:
  <a href="mailto:url">url</a>
  <a href="mailto:url">text</a>
