tag name sanitation
The use of typed links for tags and some of the consequent changes introduced some unwanted functionality variations in the tag system. Two problems in particular could be observed, when compared to the use of tags in older versions of IkiWiki: * tags in feeds (both rss and atom) would use the file path as their name (e.g. you would have <category term="tags/sometag" /> in an atom item for a page tagged sometag with a tagbase of tags), whereas they appeared pure before * tags containing a slash character would appear without the slash character but be used with the slash character in other circumstances (effect visible by tagging a page with a name such as "with/slash") Both of these issues are fixed by introducing a tagname() function that takes a tag link and effectively reverses (as well as possible) the effects of taglink(). A possible alternative route would have been the reintroduction of the global %tags hash, but the new approach as the (arguable) benefit of introducing a small layer of sanitation for tag names.
