Notice class got a 'getLocalUrl' function.

We can't say we officially support PostgreSQL, unfortunately. There
are too many database calls with MySQL specific syntax. This would be
desirable for a 2.0 release, but too much work while maintaining 1.x.

The main difficulty is that we're using PEAR::DB which is aging. If
that's exchanged, maybe we could use PDO or something.

Let's use getUrl() for URL retrieval. May throw exceptions, but
only if it's a Notice that cannot be linked like that anyway.

The microformats stuff was unused

Also, tooltip text on time representation for humans has been improved.
Unfortunately no standardised representation (like "RFC850") had 4-digit years.

The login field said "Username or email address" already, so...

Noone should trust an <img/> tag delivered like that anyway.

The File object now stores width and height of files that can
supply this kind of information. Formats which we can not read
natively in PHP do not currently benefit from this. However an
event hook will be introduced later.

The CreateFileImageThumbnail event is renamed to:
CreateFileImageThumbnailSource to clarify that the hooks should not
generate their own thumbnails but only the source image. Also it now
accepts File objects, not MediaFile objects.

The thumbnail generation is documented in the source code. For
developers, call 'getThumbnail' on a File object and hope for the best.

Default thumbnail sizes have increased to be more appealing.

Also did some non-backwards-compatible (to StatusNet) code cleanup.

The only reason it worked was because DB fetches calls to get$varname if
the dataobject has a variable with the specific name. However, it started
blurting out errors that the case must be correct (which would require
'geturl' to be the function name).

Since we probably want to replace DB sometime, we'll just override this
auto-fetching mechanism and use more explicitly defined functions.
