Similar to Org mode's org-open-at-point-functions, this provides a new hook, markdown-follow-link-functions, which may be a list of functions which are called with a link's URL and offered the chance to handle the link-following action.
This allows other libraries to affect how markdown-mode follows links. For example, this allows hyperdrive.el to follow relative links between files in a hyperdrive (i.e. links that are not full URLs but just paths, like ../sibling-directory/file.md).
Among the changes in this PR are an improvement to one of the test macros, and a fix in one of the link-following functions. All the tests still pass as expected.
