[Conkeror] [PATCH] Optionally don't select (highlight) alternative url.

[David Kettler]

The user variable minibuffer_read_url_select_initial allows this
behaviour to be specified.
---

When I press C-x C-v, I want to edit the existing URL, and I usually
start by pressing back_space or M-back_space.  But if it's selected,
that will delete the whole URL.  That's inconvenient.  Emacs doesn't
do that.

The name of the variable is clumsy.
