Fix Purple::Util::fetch_url to correctly accept a callback in any of the following forms \&funref, sub {...}, or "fun", instead of just accepting "fun". While I was at it, I cleaned up the code a bit, this should allocate a little less memory every time now and provide a little more useful error reporting for invalid callback data.
