Summary: weblinkchecker should ignore URLs inside some tags

Initial Comment:
Our MediaWiki site has a tag that runs database queries:

<sql>select foo from bar</sql>

Unfortunately, when the query includes a URL:

<sql>select 'http://blah' from bar</sql>

weblinkchecker.py thinks this is a real URL and reports:

http://blah' - Socket Error: 'getaddrinfo failed'

(Notice the single quote on the end of the URL.)

This problem should be preventable somehow: get pywikipedia to ignore strings that look like URLs when enclosed within certain parser tags.
