bug#4508: 23.1; (efaq) Emacs for MS-Windows has bad URL

FYI - The problem is that the right paren is included as part of the link. If
you remove the right paren, then the URL is OK and the link works.

I've fixed it by making Info-try-follow-nearest-node to follow the
information extracted by Info-get-token. Parentheses in URLs are valid
but apparently not very frequent (outside of Wikipedia).

If this change causes trouble with URLs containing parentheses,
perhaps changing the regexp passed to Info-get-token would be an
option; but currently the Emacs-supplied info files do not have any
such URL.
