    Add FileURL text.dat string, used when displaying file info

    This is an optional (default: blank) string that can be used to display a file's URL(s) (e.g. FTP and/or Web URLs, using @-codes) when viewing extended file information. I currently have this string output before the file description.

    The idea is that a sysop could set this string (e.g in their ctrl/text.ini) instead of or in-addition-to their text/menu/download.msg file and then the file URL(s) would be more readily displayed (not just went prompting for a download protocol to send said file).

    This reverts commit 269875be1b0ad07f72479a560b9ea8441aa5d176.

    There are plenty of existing text.dat strings where URL @-codes can be added.
    I had good/better results by changing the FiFilename string.
    So let's not add a new/blank text.dat string for now good reason.
