Rewrite webbrowser.py to fix various bugs following Ka-Ping Yee's

complaints. The new version moves most of its initialization to
package load time; it's simpler, faster, smaller, and adds support for
Mozilla and Links. Interpretation of the BROWSER variable now works
and is documented. The open_new entry point and methods are marked
"deprecated; may be removed in 2.1".

Use small tables instead of bare \item markers to describe the contents
