This adds the lstrip_blocks Jinja parameter and removes unnecessary
whitespace from a few notmyidea templates.
Note: The lstrip_blocks parameter requires Jinja 2.7+, which has been
noted in Pelican's setup.py.
Credit for this commit goes entirely to Russ Webber, who has earned my
eternal thanks for discovering and applying this useful Jinja parameter.

Using self.__dict__ is fine, but when its mutated it changes the
object's state. Creating a new dict avoids needing to think about
that, and doesn't introduce Python 3 issues (ie, where self.number is
accidentally set to '').
This commit adds optional fabfile.py generation during the
pelican-quickstart process. Reasons include:
* "make" is cumbersome to install on Windows
* Fabric runs in any Python environment
* fabfile is just Python and thus more flexible and extensible
This is an initial implementation and does not currently provide as many
upload options as its Makefile counterpart.

If LOCALE was not specified in the settings file it would default
to [] insted of [''], where '' is used by locale.setlocale
to mean the user's default locale.
The `slugify()` function used by Pelican is in general very good at
coming up with something both readable and URL-safe. However, there are
a few specific cases where it causes conflicts. One that I've run into
is using the strings `C++` and `C` as tags, both of which transform to
the slug `c`. This commit adds an optional `SLUG_SUBSTITUTIONS` setting
which is a list of 2-tuples of substitutions to be carried out
case-insensitively just prior to stripping out non-alphanumeric
characters. This allows cases like `C++` to be transformed to `CPP` or
similar. This can also improve the readability of slugs.
If DELETE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is set to True, all files and directories are
deleted from the output directory. There are, however, several reasons
one might want to retain certain files/directories and avoid their
deletion from the output directory. One such use case is version control
system data: a versioned output directory can facilitate deployment via
Heroku and/or allow the user to easily revert to a prior version of the
site without having to rely on regeneration via Pelican.
This change introduces the OUTPUT_RETENTION setting, a tuple of
filenames that will be preserved when the clean_output_dir function in
pelican.utils is run. Setting OUTPUT_RETENTION = (".hg", ".git") would,
for example, prevent the relevant VCS data from being deleted when the
output directory is cleaned.
