App Links is the standard Facebook is pushing and using for deep-linking into mobile apps. For content embedded on Facebook, this is the best way to have links directly to an app.

This adds a metatag_al module that implements all current tags.

Tada! This is a format-patch so if there are any followups they are easily diff'ed.

Yay for adding this support. It might be better to use 'app_links' instead of 'al' in the module name and internal data structures? This would follow the pattern established from the existing metatag_opengraph and metatag_twitter_card submodules (yes I realize that metatag_dc does this too but I would say that module violates naming conventions too).

I like to lean towards shorter names since some of the hooks can get unwieldly, but I don't feel *that* strongly about it.

How about "metatag_applinks"? And yes, metatag_dc should have been named differently :-\

Oh, while the website is named "applinks.org", the site itself specifically states "app links" in pretty much every occasion. So yeah, "metatag_app_links" would be best. And yeah, I guess even metatag_opengraph should be named "metatag_open_graph". Meh. #hindsight.

I've made some minor tweaks and added a README.txt file.
