[emacs-w3m/emacs-w3m] user-agents: bugfix, update, improve friendliness (#106)

[Boruch Baum <notifications@xxxxxxxxxx>]

1 Variable w3m-user-agent-default-alist

• It had been defined as a macro, but the macro was specifying a
  symbol when the value of that symbol was needed.

• To reproduce the bug:

  • Evaluate variable w3m-user-agent

  • M-x w3m-user-agent-change to something other than the default

  • Evaluate variable w3m-user-agent

  • M-x w3m-user-agent-change to the default

  • Evaluate variable w3m-user-agent

2 The former values in variable w3m-user-agent-alist have aged, and
are no longer popular or current.

• I took the list from a firefox browser extension, but here's a
  resource that may be easier scrape in the future:

3 Variable w3m-user-agent-site-specific-alist had previously required
explicitly entering a user-agent string, but that is most often
going to be a duplicate of an entry in variable
w3m-user-agent-alist, so the definition was changed to allow an
explicit reference to an element of w3m-user-agent-alist, which is
expected to be more user-friendly / easier to read.
