Title: Change pad name spaces to underscores

Per issue #215, the Web front-end converts "a pad name" to "a_pad_name". This is accomplished using a redirect, which seemed the cleanest way to do it (particularly if legacy pad names were to be supported). "Legacy" pads with spaces are still accessible, and any future changes in pad name policies should be easy to incorporate.

The API obviously doesn't use redirects, but simply resolves "a pad name" to "a_pad_name".

I've been testing this for a few days and I can't find any odd behavior. But admittedly I've been the sole tester.
