Share the article's DOI instead of the OJS link.

[thiagolepidus]

We had a request to share the DOI link instead of the OJS link, which has a higher probability of being changed over time. Integrating this functionality into the Shariff plugin seemed ideal to us. Can we submit a pull request with this feature?

We are considering three alternatives:

1. If a DOI is available, the shared link will point to the DOI.
2. Configurable option, maintaining the current default.
3. Configurable option, setting the DOI link as the default.

Great, @ronste!

Do you have any preference among the suggested implementation alternatives?

Ohh, sorry. Forgot the alternatives. In the spirit of slowly adpating users to new features I would, for now, go with option 2). Once this is accepted we can make it the default, i.e. go for option 3).

Apart from that we have to consider that not all shareable object might have a DOI. In that case the Url should be sent.

@thiagolepidus ,

thanks for the PR. I will test it on my system, prepare a relase package and update the plugin gallery.
