#1170: Editor / Distribution / Display gmd:linkage instead of gmd:URL

Currently, in default view mode, the gmd:URL is displayed in the editor
and not its parent (ie.gmd:linkage).

{{{
<gmd:linkage>
   <gmd:URL>http://www.ifremer.fr/services/wms/charm3&lt;/gmd:URL&gt;
</gmd:linkage>
}}}

In order to be consistent with other ISO elements, I would suggest to
consider gmd:URL like gco:CharacterString, gco:Angle, ... and display its
parent as the main element in the editor.

An advantage of this, is that editors could easily edit extra attribute
(like gco:nilReason) which are attached to gmd:linkage and not gmd:URL.
