Accept url in place of ID for merges #876

When doing lots of merges, it would be convenient to be able to just copy the URL of the candidate being merged instead of the ID and paste that into the box, so for example, I'd like to be able to paste in https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/person/7832/michael-bukola rather than 7832.
