punycode

So it turns out that w3m does not support punycode (there's some Debian bugreports and TODO notes about libidn and rumors of code I could not find) which results in links such as

=> https://マリウス.com/gemini-is-solutionism-at-its-worst/

not working™ as the unicode needs to be converted to

=> https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com/gemini-is-solutionism-at-its-worst/

[RFC 5891] might be a relevant read.

(My w3m is heavily modified to prevent it from doing crazy things like calling system(3) or reading from most anywhere on the filesystem, but I'm pretty sure it's (some updates and merge conflicts and swearing about wacky new color code not supported by curses on OpenBSD) now up-to-date with tats/w3m.)
