Linkify commit messages using regexp-based rules (same as Gerrit's commentlink)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Gerrit has a way to configure regexp-based rules to create links in commit 
messages (among others) based on patterns: 
http://gerrit-documentation.googlecode.com/svn/Documentation/2.5.1/config-gerrit
.html#_a_id_commentlink_a_section_commentlink

If would be great if Gitiles had such capability too, so that we could have the 
same links in both Gerrit (on gwt-review.googlesource.com for instance) and 
Gitiles (at gwt.googlesource.com)

Even minimal support for linking to issues and other revisions, with hard-coded 
patterns, as is possible on Google Code Hosting, would be appreciated.

FYI, there is currently limited support for Gerrit Change-Ids in 
com.google.gitiles.Linkifier, as you may have noticed. I agree it would be nice 
to support the same arbitrary linkification config as Gerrit. Ideally we would 
extract this out of Gerrit so it could be reused, rather than reimplementing it 
from scratch in Gitiles.

I've started implementing this one.
