common_shorten_links() can only access the web session's logged-in user, so never properly took user options into effect for posting via XMPP, API, mail, etc.
Adds an optional $user parameter on common_shorten_links(), and a $user->shortenLinks() as a clearer interface for that.
Tweaked some lower-level functions so $user gets passed down -- making the $notice_id param previously there for saving URLs at notice save time generalized a little.
Note also ticket #2919: there's a lot of duplicate code calling the shortening, checking the length, and reporting near-identical error messages. These should be consolidated to aid in code and translation maintenance.
This option may be useful for intranet sites that don't have direct access to the internet, as they may be unable to successfully fetch those resources.
When bogus SSL sites etc were hit through a shortening redirect, sometimes link resolution kinda blew up and the user would get a "Can't linkify" error, aborting their post.
Now catching this case and just passing through the URL without attempting to resolve it. Could benefit from an overall scrubbing of the freaky link/attachment code though...! :)

Users and administrators can set how long an URL can be before it's
shortened, and how long a notice can be before all its URLs are
shortened. They can also turn off shortening altogether.

Add User_urlshortener_prefs
Add a table for URL shortener prefs, a corresponding class, and the
correct mumbo-jumbo in statusnet.ini to make everything work.
Caching support will be added in future work after unit tests have been added.
* extlib: add PEAR HTTP_Request2 0.4.1 alpha
* extlib: update PEAR Net_URL2 to 0.3.0 beta for HTTP_Request2 compatibility
* moved direct usage of CURL and file_get_contents to HTTPClient class, excluding external-sourced libraries
* adapted GeonamesPlugin for new HTTPResponse interface
Note some plugins haven't been fully tested yet.

Canon urls that have a protocol followed by a host (and no path) automatcally get a trailing slash by the canon function - make the unit test match that
Some minor database changes for file tables. Namely:
* Added a timestamp to all tables
* Added a filename column for local files
* Change some tables that had unnecessary auto-increment primary
keys when they had another unique column that should act as
the primary key
* Change engine from MyISAM to InnoDB for a couple of files.
Also, rebuilt the DB_DataObject files for all these tables.
