In CVS HEAD for 1.5, Image: links to nonexistent files now produce a red link which goes to the
upload page. This should probably be done for Media: links as well for sanity's sake.

Adding to 1.5 release target.

If you make a [[Media:]] link to a nonexistant file like [[Media:Bar.ogg]] from
page [[Foo]] the Media link gets rendered like
[[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|Media:Bar.ogg]] would.
