I've pulled in some fixes from one of my old experimental branches which
gets the bit.ly URL shortener support working again.
Some while ago, bit.ly changed to requiring an API key for all
shortening requests, which broke our old BitlyUrlPlugin.
The updated version now in master & 0.9.x branches allows setting
sitewide bit.ly credentials, either through the addPlugin() parameters
or in the admin panels on the site.
If no credentials are set up, then bit.ly isn't offered as a shortening
service to end-users; if they are set up then the global keys are used
for all bit.ly requests. Settings in the admin panel will override those
in the addPlugin() parameters; this allows setting a default for a big
hosted site farm like *.status.net, while individual sites can customize
their settings to make use of the statistic tracking features or custom
domains that bit.ly pro accounts offer.
It would be nice to further add a per-user override (as per
http://status.net/open-source/issues/1234 ), but a little refactoring on
the 'other settings' panel is needed to keep everything together in one
place.
