Item15026: modernize default link protocol pattern

The $Foswiki::cfg{LinkProtocolPattern} controls which uri schemes are recognized by Foswiki creating an anchor link for them. I'd suggest the following changes:

file: keep
ftp: keep
gopher: delete
https: keep
http: keep
irc: keep
mailto: keep
news: delete
nntp: delete
telnet: delete
tel: new

Note these are not all known uri schemes. These should be those that are auto-linked by Foswiki, recognized by browsers in a useful way and are commonly in use. I.e. tel:... is important on mobile phones as it lets you dial a phone number right from the bat.

Any thoughts?
