Allow Skype Protocol

Description

Skype URIs provide the ability to insert links into your website which will launch the Skype app when clicked.

But the Skype protocol is not whitelisted in WordPress, and URL beginning by skype is stripped by WordPress.

This plugin is adding the skype protocol to the whitelist. It’s based on the code provided by Chris from sevenspark.com

Thank you very much Chris!
