Feature Proposal: We need some minor InterwikiPlugin enhancements to better support the Github migration

Motivation

The Foswikiref<nop>:1234 can't easily be migrated to point to git commits. A single svn revision can map to multiple git commits. So a single SVN rev needs to map to multiple URLS.

Description and Documentation

Two enhancements:

• Expand %MACROS% as part of the Interwiki link expansion. (This is already implemented in Item12819).
• Allow a custom URL format override for a link. Add an optional 4th column to the InterWikis table. If provided, it replaces INTERWIKIPLUGIN_INTERLINKFORMAT for that one link with the specified text.

Examples

The %INTERWIKIPLUGIN_INTERLINKFORMAT% defaults to:

<a class="interwikiLink" href="$url" title="$tooltip"><noautolink>$label</noautolink></a>

The optional 4th column, provided with the Foswikirev entry, would override the link url, in this case, replacing it with the expanded contents of the URL: column.

Alias:	URL:	Tooltip Text:	Format override:
Foswiki	http://foswiki.org/	'$page' on foswiki.org
Foswikitask	http://foswiki.org/Tasks/	'$page' on the 'Foswiki' issue tracking site
Foswikirev	%REV2REF{$page}%	revision $page of 'Foswiki' on Github	$url

Impact

Unit tests all pass with this change. It should be transparent, but allow greater flexibility in the rendering of Interwiki links.
