 Part of the sidebar-related functions use sanitize_title() for the sidebar
 id, while others don't. For example, if I try to register a sidebar with
 an id like "Not The Very Best Sidebar ID" everything is fine and
 register_sidebar stores it under {{{$wp_registered_sidebars['Not The Very
 Best Sidebar ID']}}}. But when I use is_active_sidebar with the same id,
 it first passes the id through sanitize_title() and looks for the sidebar
 data in {{{$wp_registered_sidebars['not-the-very-best-sidebar-id']}}}

 My patch adds sanitize_title() to the following functions:
 register_sidebar, unregister_sidebar and wp_sidebar_description.
