AV-98 (Fork) Updates

I maintain a fork of Solderpunk's gemini browser AV-98 since a while back.

I've just merged a couple of patches I've received for it, and thought I should take the opportunity to mention the features introduced in this fork.

When a client certificate is active the prompt shows which one it is.

The GUS search engine is dead since a few months back, and has been replaced with geminispace.info (but the command is still 'gus').

Since geminispace.info can sometimes be slow to respond the default timeout for requests has been increased.

One of the patches I just merged introduces a setting for a https proxy, similar to the setting for a gopher proxy.

The other patch makes the 'tour' command accept reverse ranges, such that 'tour 50-40' will add indices 40-50 in reverse order.

I have plans to add more features, but quite frankly it doesn't have a very high priority on my to-do list. If I receive patches I'll try to handle them with some expedience, of course!

EDIT (2021-08-26): geminispace.info is actually really quick these days. I can't replicate the situation that lead me to increase the timeout on April 27th.
