Title: Add topic infrastructure to twitter feeds.

Hi Stephen. I've merged in the "topic" feature for twitter feeds. As we've discussed
earlier, it may be helpful (it is to me) to take the actual feed configuration out
of templates and make them configurable. And to be able to aggregate multiple feeds
into a "topic" to get some more variety into the content. If this is a possibility for you
it would be great to see it in the base repo; let me know if you need any changes
to make that a possibility for you.

Here is the commit comment:

Previously all twitter feeds were defined in-place by use of tags in templates.
A new tag, tweets_on, takes a string "topic" rather than an explicit feed name
as do the existing tags tweets_for_user etc.
Provide an admin interface to define topics as well as queries, which
previously were defined only by their first usage in a template.
Use the command "poll_topics" to get content from twitter.com in the
same way as poll_twitter does, with the only difference being that
poll_topics will refresh every defined topic and feed even if the
"is_interested" flag has not been previously set by a page access.
