This wraps the external link launch in the What's New screen so the app no longer crashes when there is no app available to open the link.

Before, an http or https link was passed to startActivity directly, which throws ActivityNotFoundException on a device with no handler and takes the screen down. With this change the link still opens when a handler exists, and otherwise the exception is caught and a short message is shown.

Closes #301.
