A rewrite of the reverse URL parsing: the reverse() call and the "url" template tag.
This is fully backwards compatible, but it fixes a bunch of little bugs. Thanks
to SmileyChris and Ilya Semenov for some early patches in this area that were
incorporated into this change.
Fixed #2977, #4915, #6934, #7206.
