#17325: No good way to flush rules on registering post types

 Plugins that register post types can't `flush_rewrite_rules()` on
 activation.

 flush_rewrite_rules is too early (for post types registered at `init`) at
 `do_action( 'activate_' . $plugin, $network_wide );` and adding a delayed
 action on `init` fails because shortly after `activate_plugin()` there's a
 `wp_redirect()` at http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-
 admin/plugins.php#L61 (which sets a new code execution) before the `init`
 hook runs.

 What's left is manually visiting `options-permalinks.php`, setting an
 option and checking to do the flush, or flushing every page load, as is
 being recommended on many blogs.
