Underline hyperlinks only on mouse hover (#3856)

- **PR Description**

Followup to #3825: we decided there that we don't want to underline
links in delta diffs by default, but only on mouse hover. This PR does
that; it makes it possible to decide per view whether links should be
underlined always, or only on hover. We set this to only on hover for
the main views, so that links in diffs are not underlined (also affects
the status view though), but all other links we want to underline always
for better discoverability.
