TASK DESCRIPTION
  Many a time, I use a query (often using #quarry 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/quarry/>) to identify a list of pages 
that need to be processed by Pywikibot. I have to then save that list to a page 
on wiki and then point the bot to that page using the `-links:` parameter. This 
extra step of saving the list to wiki is wasteful. I suggest adding another 
generator, perhaps called `-url:`, which allows passing a URL that would return 
a CSV with column consisting of page titles. For instance, I could use 
`-url:https://quarry.wmflabs.org/run/123456/output/0/csv` to get the list 
directly from Quarry. Any webservice can also be used in the same way.
  
  @Xqt do you have thoughts on this or recommendations about what the command 
line argument should be called?
