clean_url() like function to clean all different kind of IDs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using non-basic Latin characters anywhere as an ID is currently lethal.
Components end up completely without way to call them etc. This could be
fixed by running all strings that are used as identifiers through the same
cleaning function.

Maybe you should consider using Punycode: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode

clean_img_name() and to7bit() should take care of any other types of IDs that 
need cleaned... correct?
