[Conkeror] New feature added: "view internally" and "view as text" download options

I recently checked in a new feature that adds "view internally" and
"view as text" options to the download prompt (brought up when you
attempt to load a URL that either specifies a Content-disposition header
or which has a content type that Mozilla thinks it cannot handle).
These options force the URL to be opened in browser itself
(i.e. displayed using Gecko) as a content type that you specify.

This feature can also be accessed directly via the view-as-mime-type
command (by default bound to "v").

There are some limitations to this facility, as described at
<http://conkeror.org/CommonProblems>.

Note that we'll try to send out e-mails like this in the future when
other new features are added to Conkeror.  (We haven't done this in the
past.)

Also, in case you didn't notice yet, Nelson Elhage recently added a
Google Maps page mode.
