Optionally enable urldecode for non-ASCII external links

At a some wiki site I add external links to another wikis (primarily in
Russian). Such wiki have Cyrillic Titles, which links contain utf8 entities
that are encoded (%xx). One may add such wiki to interwiki table to decode
Title names. However, adding of every wiki is a bit tiresome. Browsers, like
Firefox, already properly decode these URLs in their address line. I suggest to
perform urldecode for such links. This way, Cyrillic external links become
readable in generated html page. One may introduce a new
$wgExternalLinksDecode, if such vehavior is undesired by default.
