Support URLs in Gophermaps 

Paths in Gophermaps that start with “URL:” should be interpreted as direct
URLs, rather than references to files or directories on the Gopher server
itself.

An excerpt from the standard document:
```

Links to URLs from a gopher directory shall be defined as follows:

 Type -- the appropriate character corresponding to the type of the
 document on the remote end; h if HTML.

 Path -- the full URL, preceeded by "URL:".  For instance:
         URL:http://www.complete.org/

 Host, Port -- pointing back to the gopher server that provided
 the directory for compatibility reasons.

 Name -- as usual for a Gopher directory entry.

```
Source: gopher://quux.org/0/Archives/Mailing Lists/gopher/gopher.2002-02?/MBOX-MESSAGE/34

An example of this in the wild can be seen at gopher://gopher.floodgap.com ,
at the bottom of the page.

Note that above link carries a fallback for clients that do not support it,
as described by the Bucktooth server software:
```
[...]  most people will want to add web links to their
gophers anyway. In 0.1-pr4 and up, this is supported in a protocol independent
fashion; simply specify any URL and an 'h' item type, like so:

hYour Web Link<TAB>URL:http://www.floodgap.com/

Note that the URL must be preceded by a literal "URL:" and that the itemtype
is h. Smart clients will automatically take the URL portion and use it, but
even if they do not, Bucktooth will generate an HTML page with a Refresh:
header and forward them on automatically.
```

Other clients supporting this standard include the OverbiteWX extension.
(Most likely, there will be others, but I haven’t tested them all.)
