Summary: Interwiki.py - earlier abort of a page wanted

Initial Comment:
When interwiki.py says:

WARNING: [[zxx:pagetitle1]] doesn't seem to be a disambiguation page, but [[und:pagetitle2]] is one. Follow it anyway? ([y]es, [n]o, [a]dd an alternative) 

, one may be unable to decide, e.g. having insufficient skills reading the languages or scripts. It does not matter which answer one gives here, since later, when the same pages comes up to be finalized, one would usually have to give up on it.

I suggest, to add a choice to abandon processing the page at the earlier stage already, when the above message is shown. So, it could be extended as:

... Follow it anyway? ([y]es, [n]o, [a]dd an alternative, [g]ive up)

----

The same holds for the message:

WARNING: [[zxx:namespace1:pagetitle1]] is in namespace 1, but [[und:namespace2:pagetitle2]] is in namespace 2. Follow it anyway? ([y]es, [n]o)

Message:
The 1st suggestion (disambiguation mismatch) has already been taken care
of.

I am working now on the 2nd suggestion (namespace mismatch).
