Bring back the URL escaping code, but use a better character whitelist.

I realized we can still percent-encode some characters to guard against
URLs containing $(xterm) causing xterm to start on horrendously broken
systems. We just need to be better about what characters we escape. So
I brought back Tomasz's code, added a few characters to the allowed list,
and we now use the escaped URI when starting ALL browsers. Works fine for me.
#!/bin/sh
METHOD_NAME=$1
if test -z "$METHOD_NAME"
then
cat <<EOF
This program calls purple API functions using DBus and prints the return value.
If you are not interested in the return value, use purple-send-async.
Usage:
$0 method-name type1:parameter1 type2:parameter2 ...
This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how
to specify the parameters.
Examples:
$0 PurpleAccountsFindConnected string: string:prpl-jabber
$0 PurpleAccountsGetAll
$0 PurpleCoreQuit
Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.
