This bugs me enough on a regular basis that I think it is worth fixing it for good:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/ee0d3f15c1914bd494ebe88a5831d40be88bbcae](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/ee0d3f15c1914bd494ebe88a5831d40be88bbcae)

Our new default is that `com|net|gov` is autolinked, and `http://` `https://` is autolinked.

Apologies `.uk` and `.au` but I feel this new default is far saner and now sites have fidelity to expand or contract the behaviour.

Use: `enable_markdown_linkify` to enable or disable linkification globally.

Use: `markdown_linkify_tlds` to list TLDs you wish to auto-link if people forgot to add `http[s]://` in front.

@codinghorror you happy with this?
