[Patch provided] Wikitools failover support: avoids caching issues w/not-found pages

Issue Summary

The attached short patch (just a 12 line addition) implements wikitools failover support for the nodetitle plugin, as an alternative to using a static "create" link. Using this failover keeps cached "create" links from breaking, since wikitools will either ask to create the page, or redirect to the created page once it exists. That way, if you have multiple pages linking to a non-existent page, you don't have to hunt them down or flush the caches just to make those pages work correctly.

Hope you find this worthy of inclusion in the next alpha. Thanks!

Since this issue got no response at all, I have written the maintainers at Wikitools module to get feedback for a better integration between Freelinking and Wikitools.

#1248812: Review integration with freelinking module

Just a quick clarification: the support this patch provides has nothing to do with wikitools hijacking. It's just a more-useful alternative to the "create" fallback.

This is something that wikitools can't provide by hijacking freelinking, but freelinking can easily support it on its side.

(Also, it'd be nice if this could go in the 6.x version, since it's a really trivial patch. Thanks!)
