Make it so plot command creates a link to W|Alpha page #52

Currently you get no result when plotting. Should at least create a link to 
W|Alpha result if there is one.

If we assume plots always start with "plot ", then we can add a preprocess 
check for that and display the constructed WolframAlpha link. If doing this is 
reliable enough, we might skip sending the query out to the network.

Does the WolframAlpha plot always appear in a DIV with class="pod" and 
containing an H2 tag pair around the string "Plots:"? If so, we could display 
link to WolframAlpha whenever we get a plot. The link would have to be more 
obvious than the current hover-W, partly because sometimes we might not find a 
result to display yet we might find a plot to link to.

So many people have requested either native plotting or a link to WolframAlpha 
that I'm raising the priority of this to High.

We've been unable to detect plots in the Wolfram results because they 
lazy-load, relying on JavaScripts that don't execute when we load the page text 
into Chromey.

As a work-around, we can implement this user's suggestion to force creation of 
a link to W|Alpha when a user /knows/ the result should be plotted:

Needs graphing capabilities in the worst way!  At least maybe recognize the 
word "plot" so that "plot f(x)" (where f(x) is some function) returns a link to 
the W|A page for that search

This thing won't plot for me.  Why?

Plotting is not currently one of Chromey Calculator's features.
