Summary: Treat code-only interwikis as valid for main page

Initial Comment:
Interwiki in the form of [[en:]] links to the main page.

It is easy to generate (on Toolserver or from SiteMatrix) a list of interwikis in this form for the main page and they are correct links.

So the bot must not remove them nor change them.

Suggesting the following process:
1) Pull MediaWiki:Mainpage and store it in some variable.
2) When dealing with interwiki, first compare, if the page title == that variable.
3) If yes, simply put short interwikis there (or at least do not remove nor correct them to long)
