Make the url shortener provider pluggable

[sametmax]

Google url shortener has been mention has a better alternative with https hosted site. But is.id is a more neutral provider.

Been able to use both should be possible but setting it in the configuration file.

We got the code from Natim@28bff88 to make it work with google API.

I'd suggest:

make an settings such as :

URL_SHORTENER = {
"name": 'google',
'api key': 'bla'
}

make the python code print this as json in the HTML.
make the jscode setup the proper backup according to the name

For now we can just have google and is.gd. We can make Google's the default one, but we need to offer is.gd as an alternative (with warning regarding the https problem) because Google is becoming more and more a hot potatoes these days.

// , Maybe there could be some sort of failover mode?

Reminds me of #80.

In the event that you're hosting 0bin yourself, having a native URL shortener on that domain would be preferably in certain scenarios. Maybe it could come in the form of an additional URL rewrite/route?

That would defeat the entire purpose or 0bin as the server would need to
hold the decryption key to redirect from the short url to the full url.

Good point, hadn't thought about that. Please excuse my short sightedness.

The short url feature has been removed in V2, so I'm closing this.
