[Improvement] Links in Custom Fields

[ankar84]

Description:

We plan to set a link in Rocket.Chat user profile (User Info) to user profile in another system (e.g. Facebook, Tweeter, Youtube, etc)
As I see link now only rendered as hyperlink only in Bio field.
But Bio field not fills on LDAP sync. Custom fields do. But custom fields not render markdown style link (and not render any link scheme like http://)
So, we need a new type for Custom Field - hyperlink or just current type of Custom Fields (Text) start render links.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set Custom Fields and it's sync with LDAP
2. Set link in some Custom Field
3. Try to click a link - no luck

Expected behavior:

User open other user Profile (User Info) and click a link in Custom Field to open user profile in other system.

Actual behavior:

Currently only Bio field render links.
We need Custom Fields to render links

Hello @yash-rajpal
