[bbDev] Custom permalinks patch

[Sam Bauers]

Changing the URLs this way was the first specific request I saw on  
the forums (change "forum/1" to "forum-1"). It would mostly be handy  
for those wanting to localise their bbPress ("/forum/1" -> "/tribuna/ 
1" etc.). It may also help some stats packages to have URLs that  
aren't broken by slashes. The implementation as presented also gives  
the ability to keep some permalinks as a querystring argument, which  
some might prefer for various reasons.

Anyway, I agree that the best scenario would be to have unique slugs  
for topics and forums based on names (as I've now done for user  
names), but that's a little harder (esp. with UTF-8 support in mind),  
and I wanted to get the model working first, which I have done - now  
I'm asking if I should go further, that's all.

And specifically, I was wondering if abandoning MultiViews was  
against the general consensus.
