When using a public HTTP URL in /IndexImportMediawiki_p.html, the remote
file now is directly streamed and processed, allowing import of several
GB dumps even with a low memory remote peer, and without need to
manually download the dump file first.
Using an HTML "file" input was confusing (as reported by promocore on
YaCy forum : http://forum.yacy-websuche.de/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5965) ,
and it only worked with MS IE/Edge on a local YaCy peer :
- for security reasons some current major browsers such as Firefox or
Chrome do not allow to send full file path information when using a file
form input
- the local file system selection popup doesn't make sense when you
want to import a dump on a remote YaCy server
add url parameter to make sure no parameter are included in refresh url
which could cause unwanted restart of import job

principles:
- provide an easy tutorial-like "what should I do first" menu
- provide all elements which are subject to most first questions to YaCy
exibition people on top level: Resource limitation, Parser and Ranking
settings
I apologize to everyone who are used to the old style and need to find
the menu items (again) after this change. I hope that this will make the
interface more usable for new users who see a web indexer/crawler the
first time.
