Links should be "openable"

[benjajaja]

Most links are longer than the chat-message-grid-column, and thus are broken up into the next line. Then, they cannot be opened by clicking (most modern terminals have such a feature), nor can they be selected easily for copying and pasting.

If a message has no attachments and :open is used, then do a simple match for ^http(s)?://.+ or something like that, and pass a match to the open crate, it should open the browser.

weechat has raw-mode (M-L), which is quite handy for links

@ptman what does that do? Something like just printing raw chat lines?

Implemented in df3148b. I made it so that <a> tags get a [0], [1], etc. shown after them, so that it's clear when someone's used markdown to link to something, and I've made it so that running :open will open a prompt showing the URLs and asking which number (or letter if you have enough links) you want to open.

If the message is plaintext only, then :open will try to parse the message body to see if it's just a URL. There might be room for improvement here for when it's a plaintext message containing multiple URLs, but I imagine that this should be a good step forward for now.
