Subject: Refactor UrlLink() function normal! commands

Tidy up the 'normal!' commands and comment them in appropriate groups.
Take advantage of the natural command-termination at the end of a
'normal!' string to end insert mode.

It would be better to do all of this with pure VimL functions, but I
don't know how yet.
