Add Newzbin report link (when available) on History page for all interfaces

It would be helpful if we could link back to Newzbin from the History page when the report ID is available for all skins.  Looks like Plush already does this, so if we could do this for the others (I use Default) that would be sweet.

(Is Default dying out in favor of Plush?  I've noticed a lot of emphasis on Plush, and for obvious reasons due to the robust/dynamic infrastructure it uses, but for some reason I just can't get used to it.  I feel like stuff is hidden (which some is, hover-revealed) and I can't seem to quickly find what action I might need to perform.  I guess it's personal preference, but I like the straight-forward layout of Default. :)  )

The future of Plush depends on its author.
We are working on a brand new interface (currently called Prototype), to replace Default.
The history page will get an overhaul in this process.

Haha, talk about motivation.  :)  I started poking around in the code and realized the change is extremely simple, a 4 line code change to history.tmpl.  Do you guys accept public commits?  Or is there a different author for Default?

The change may be trivial, but each change needs testing too.
In fact, that is the biggest cost of a change.
That's why we're not fond of lots of small changes.
