Avoid %links accumulating duplicates. (For TOVA)
This is sorta an optimisation, and sorta a bug fix. In one
test case I have available, it can speed a page build up from 3
minutes to 3 seconds.
The root of the problem is that $links{$page} contains arrays of
links, rather than hashes of links. And when a link is found,
it is just pushed onto the array, without checking for dups.
Now, the array is emptied before scanning a page, so there
should not be a lot of opportunity for lots of duplicate links
to pile up in it. But, in some cases, they can, and if there
are hundreds of duplicate links in the array, then scanning it
for matching links, as match_link and some other code does,
becomes much more expensive than it needs to be.
Perhaps the real right fix would be to change the data structure
to a hash. But, the list of links is never accessed like that,
you always want to iterate through it.
I also looked at deduping the list in saveindex, but that does
a lot of unnecessary work, and doesn't completly solve the problem.
So, finally, I decided to add an add_link function that handles deduping,
and make ikiwiki-transition remove the old dup links.

inline: Minor optimisation.
When finding the pageurl, it was calling bestlink unnecessarily.
Since at this point $page contains the full name of the page that
is being inlined, there is no need to do bestlink's scan
for it.
This is only a minor optimisation, since bestlink is only called
once per displayed, inlined page.
I forgot to check if it was called from preprocess, and it is
not; it's called by a format hook. If an error is thrown from
a format hook, wiki build fails, so we don't want that.
pagespec_match_list added and used in most appropriate places
* pagespec_match_list: New API function, matches pages in a list
and throws an error if the pagespec is bad.
* inline, brokenlinks, calendar, linkmap, map, orphans, pagecount,
pagestate, postsparkline: Display a handy error message if the pagespec
is erronious.
pagespec error/failure distinction and error display by inline
* Add IkiWiki::ErrorReason objects, and modify pagespecs to return
them in cases where they fail to match due to a configuration or syntax
error.
* inline: Display a handy error message if the inline cannot display any
pages due to such an error.
This is perhaps somewhat incomplete, as other users of pagespecs do not
display the error, and will eventually need similar modifications to inline.
I should probably factor out a pagespec_match_all function and make it throw
ErrorReasons.
If the server has a clock running a bit ahead of the web browsing client,
relativedate could cause somewhat confusing displays like "3 seconds from now"
for just posted things.
As a hack, avoid displaying times in the future if they're less than a
small slip forward. I chose 30 minutes because both client and server could
be wrong in different directions, while it's still close enough that "just
now" is not horribly wrong.
blogspam: Load RPC::XML library in checkconfig, so that an error can be printed at that point if it's not available, allowing the admin to see it during wiki setup. Closes: #520015
