Patch against current trunk

This patch should implement two things:

A) A new global $wgNewSectionOnTalk which defines if "New section" is applied to talk pages or not (default is true)

B) Allows the overriding of new sections with NONEWSECTIONLINK

So the logic is this:

1. OutputPage sets the link to false,
2. Parser checks it:

2a) If it's a talk page and the global is true, then it enables the link
2b) If the NEWSECTIONLINK keyword is found, it enables it
2c) If the NONEWSECTIONLINK is found, it disables it again.

Needs some review, but I think I've got it mostly right.

That's certainly what I was thinking of.

My patch currently breaks MW and causes an exception. Debugging.

Don't see the need or desirability for this.
