Give users more control over URL shortening

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.

---
Everybody loves URL shorteners. These are some options for fine-tuning
how and when the server shortens URLs.
shortener: URL shortening service to use by default. Users can override
individually. 'ur1.ca' by default.
maxlength: If an URL is strictly longer than this limit, it will be
shortened. Note that the URL shortener service may return an
URL longer than this limit. Defaults to 25. Users can
override. If set to 0, all URLs will be shortened.
maxnoticelength: If a notice is strictly longer than this limit, all
URLs in the notice will be shortened. Users can override.
-1 means the text limit for notices.
