Subject: [PATCH] grml-etc-core: Rewrite of function zurl().

Because of changes in the HTML source code of TinyURL, zurl() wasn't working
properly anymore. For instance, it's now 'copy(http://tinyurl.com/7efkze)'
instead of 'value="(http://tinyurl.com/7efkze)'.

The function however is now just using zsh in-house means and tries to provide
some decent output. Including TinyURL's new preview feature.
