My understanding is that a First-Match rule is employed,
so you want to put the "Host *" at the bottom of your config file
as a last-chance match.

I'd certainly suggest editing the user config file. (it's possible
that system upgrades will blow the /etc/ssh file away, too)
Please note that the "Host" designation is arbitrary -- it can be any
name and does not have to be a DNS name or IP address (though that's
the default interpretation by ssh)
So, you could create a bookmark entry for host diddle that did X forwarding
with something like:
Host bm-diddle
Hostname diddle
User jimbo
ForwardX11 yes
so that you aren't overriding the non-forwarding default behaviour when
just using the hostname 'diddle' as-is.
FWIW, i did not find anything in the IETF draft on the ssh URI that
intimates passing ssh options in the URL:
http://tools.ietf.org/wg/secsh/draft-ietf-secsh-scp-sftp-ssh-uri/
(it's also a bit disconcerting that this appears to have languished
and is marked "Expired" :-( )
