This is yet another obscure part of Org, IMO. I really think we need to
normalize link customization, for an improved user experience.

I don't like much `org-add-link-type' because, it inherently only
operates on additional link types, so it is not sufficient to handle all
customization needs. I'd rather have a single way to control link
behaviour.

I think we could rename `org-link-display-parameters' into
`org-link-type-parameters' and control links from that location. More
explicitly, the value for a given link type (string) could be a plist
with the following properties
- :follow
- :export
- :face
- :display
- :completion
- :echo

The value would contain every link type, including internal ones. Its
value would probably be daunting at first (compared, e.g., with
a boolean) but it would give full control over links.

WDYT?
