This is adding 2 functions to templating to improve ability to work with URLs in templates.
These functions are
safeUrl(the same assafeHtml, but for URLs)urlUnescape(transforming stuff like%20to blanks)For relevant context on why I need that, see #4616. I'm also fine with dropping either of the functions for my issue.
safeUrlmight have some security implications, whileurlUnescapecan already be implemented quite inefficiently with a long chain ofreReplaceAlland therefore should have less security implications
