post-mysql transition mechanism #107

As it was revealed that people depend on their precious existing pastes for things like factoids, I'd like to avoid losing these. I quickly set up a nginx hack that uses a 404 handler which then sends the request to an instance of the pre-mongo pb. But that's not particularly good.

Better:

Convert all existing pastes (by base66 id) to vanity pastes. This will take quite a bit of work.
