Summary: make interwiki.py accept a hint at namespace warning

Initial Comment:
WARNING: [[ksh:Metmaacher:Purbo T]] is in namespace 2, but [[dsb:Benutzer:Purbo T]] is in namespace 0. Follow it anyway? ([y]es, [n]o) n

should better be:

WARNING: [[ksh:Metmaacher:Purbo T]] is in namespace 2, but [[dsb:Benutzer:Purbo T]] is in namespace 0. Follow it anyway? ([y]es, [n]o, [a]dd replacement) n

Reason of the warning is an update of the language-file in the dsb wiki, which alters Benutzer -> Wužywar
(away from the German fallback) 

Thus many previously set intwerwiki links need a namespace change. While this could be dealt with using a general search/replace, interwiki.py should not loose the interwiki links while it is operating before all links were adjusted. A manual replacement (hint) would be the ideal solution here.

If possible, it would be nice to have a typein "user:" automatically expanded to "User:Purbo T" in such cases, but that is rather a gimmick.
