For a while, newlines in Project descriptions weren't being rendered properly in the catalog HTML, so people put manual <br /> tags into them.
Now, we want to render the newlines as they are in the admin screens, but that could cause extra unintended whitespace for projects that already have manual <br /> tags in them, so we normalize all of the different kinds of "newline" and strip some out if there are too many in a row.
(If this works as intended, then we can apply the same thing to the author pages as well.)
This PR is an attempt to address issue #188.
