[theme-reviewers] New Tags in 3.0: home_url(), site_url(), admin_url()

[Edward Caissie]

I'm not seeing a great deal of difference in their functionality from the
codex pages.

The major differences I am seeing in core are:

   - site_url() returns get_option ( 'siteurl' ) vs. home_url returns
   get_option( 'home' )
   - site_url() does additonal $scheme checks

There also appear to be several other "_url" type functions added with
3.0.0.
