Allow admin and users to remove posts

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've created a patch that allows user (post author) and Admin to remove
posts. In fact, posts are not removed but hidden: post.is_hidden=True.

Whole thing works this way:
'Delete' link is displayed near each post (by 'edit') while viewing Thread.
After clicking on it, confirmation page is displayed, if confirmed, post is
hidden.

Admin is always allowed to remove (hide) a post.
Post author is allowed to remove his post only if specific time has not
passed (new SPH_SETTING: board_hide_timeout similiar to
board_edit_timeout), and only if there are no newer posts in same thread
(to ensure that qutoations still have sense).

Also, I've fixed wrong permission check in annotate view (it checked for
allow_moving instead of allow_annotating) and generated new translation
files for en and pl languages.

Diff for post deleting (hiding) is attached together with compiled polish
translations file .mo

thanks for the patch. i have committed it in rev. 1040

although there might be a small problem - when deleting the root post of a 
thread
which already has replies in it, it will create dead links (because the replies 
are
not deleted when you view the history of a users' post those replies would show 
up..)
- one possible solution would be to delete all posts in a thread when the root 
post
is "deleted" (err.. hidden) .. but for now i'll keep it the way it is.. i don't 
think
it is a major problem.

btw. if you like you can tell me your real name, email address and/or website 
so i
could include you into the AUTHORS file as well (you can send it to my email 
address
herbert.poul@gmail.com ) - thanks again for your patches :)
