* Modified LYCharUtils.c, HTML.c and LYMessages_en.h so that if a
  partial reference (HREF or SRC value) would be resolved to an http
  or https URL which has only two dots as the first symbolic element in
  the path (e.g., http://host/../foo.html), such that the server would
  reject the request, that element is excluded from the resultant URL,
  but a statusline message is issued (once per document) about a bad
  partial reference, as immediate feedback which might lead to the
  document provider correcting the bad partial reference(s).  We still
  retain that first symbolic element, in compliance with the IETF RFCs
  and IDs for resolving URLs, with other URL schemes (e.g., ftp). - FM
