Another huge change, for PEAR code standards compliance. Function
headers have to be in K&R style (opening brace on its own line),
instead of having the opening brace on the same line as the function
and parameters. So, a little perl magic found all the function
definitions and move the opening brace to the next line (properly
indented... usually).

Another global search-and-replace update. Here, I've replaced the PHP
keyword 'NULL' with its lowercase version. This is another PEAR code
standards change.

The PEAR coding standards decree: no tabs, but indent by four spaces.
I've done a global search-and-replace on all tabs, replacing them by
four spaces. This is a huge change, but it will go a long way to
getting us towards phpcs-compliance. And that means better code
readability, and that means more participation.

On identi.ca, certain users (http://identi.ca/derricklo) publish 5-10
automated notices every half hour or hour. This can flood the public
stream, making it unreadable for casual readers.
We don't want to prevent anyone from using the site for personal use.
However, if their personal use clouds up the public space, we can
gently remove them from that public space without interfering with
their personal activity.
So: this change prevents selected people's notices from appearing in
the public stream. It's hand-configured by an administrator, and
probably doesn't scale beyond 10-20 blacklisted users. It's a stopgap
measure.

Zach was doing a lot of integer comparisons on the Foreign_link sync
fields. I switched them to use named bitmasks instead. I also switched
the semantics of bit 3 to be the opposite of what Zach had -- I find
lots of double-negatives in a checkbox to be hard to read.

noticesWithFriends is turning out to be one of our most expensive
queries. The join is costly, and this method is hit over and over and
over by desktop clients and other API users.
So, I've added a first pass at caching the results. I store a "window"
of notices -- equal to the first 3 pages of notices, plus one for
pagination -- in the memcached cache. If with-friends notices are
requests, I fetch the whole window out of the cache and grab the slice
requested. If the requested notices are outside the window, we just do
the query. If there's nothing in the cache, we request the window and
store it, then return a slice.
I had to add a NoticeWrapper class that works like DB_DataObject
(well, just the fetch() part...) but just holds an array of notices
instead of a DB cursor.
Finally, saving a new notice blows away the caches for subscribed users.

For identi.ca, we had some problems with the XMPP daemon getting
"stuck" in I/O through the encrypted (by default) XMPP socket. Turning
off encryption helped. So, now it's an option.
