Copy URL in XML-safe form

Issue #154 on hold

jsbien created an issue 2014-05-29

When my students paste URLs into Image Markup Systems they replace by hand ampersands with appropriate entities, which is error-prone.

Can you give examples of desired output?

For example
```
http://eprints.wbl.klf.uw.edu.pl/63/1/iNKPo.djvu?djvuopts=&amp;page=5&amp;zoom=page&amp;showposition=0.49,0.5
```
from the source of the page http://fleksem.klf.uw.edu.pl/~nkp/new/005PO0vw.htm.

Even if the use of & isn't really required by XML (is it?), such pages are created with Image Markup Tool which doesn't accept & in this context.

It is certainly non-standard, so we should probably either add another command for that or make a hidden option of copying encoded URL if Ctrl or Alt is pressed when the command is chosen.

Hidden option seems OK, but I may try first to contact the author of IMT and ask for another solution of the problem.

It's not important enough to delay Windows binaries
