Allowing Anonymous.say to send a message to either a nick or an
(implicit) channel through the use of first('nick', 'inChannel') changed
the behavior of the command by making it impossible for 'inChannel' to
take effect.
This meant that any previous users of the command that expected "say
some text" to send "some text" to the current channel would instead try
to send "text" to the user "some". Depending on the value of
conf.plugins.Anonymous.allowPrivateTarget, this would result in either
an error or a strange message to a random user.
Creating a new tell command solves this issue as Anonymous.channel now
goes back to its simple 'inChannel' wrapper.

The (faulty) detection of recursive Aliases was removed in
a656fd0693, claiming that "our nesting
limit will catch issues now." However, nested Aliases weren't actually
increasing the nesting level.
Actually increasing the nesting level when an alias is executed restores
the intended behavior. Additionally, limiting the size of the
expanded arguments to an alias prevents exponential growth of memory
usage for certain malicious inputs/aliases.

Some feeds, such as those from sourceforge.net, will sometimes show an error
page rather than a feed. In this case the feed cache used to be cleared for
that feed, causing all 'old' headlines to be flooded to the channel as soon
as the feed came back online.
This patch hopefully fixes that by only resetting the cache when the returned
page actually contains headlines.

Otherwise, when a site would take a long time to respond, the thread would hang for quite a while.

Make a note that the plugin requires restart or the words set updating,
for changes to this setting to take effect.

This is the only way to limit the execution time of a possibly long-running python statement.
Use this on String.re, due to the possibility of pathologically long re matching in python.
This allows us to remove the 'trusted-only' restriction on string.re.
In the future, this should probably be used in other places that take user-supplied regexps,
such as 'misc last --regexp', for example, as well as other potentially long-running tasks
that can block the bot.

Previously, when giving an invalid positive number, error would reference number-1 as being invalid.

The tests were running into the ambiguity between nested commands and commands
with the same name as their plugin, so "plugin plugin" is treated as
specifying the plugin command from the plugin plugin. This leads to it
displaying the help, since an argument is expected.
Since the Utilities plugin is already loaded by the test suite, use a command
from it as the argument to the plugin command.
