shortcircuit-server: URL redirect resolver

==========================================

URL shortening services can track you when you hit their servers to

resolve URLs.  Certain large social networking and social media

companies are particularly devious and create short URLs for all

links posted on or through their service.

`shortcircuit-server` is a server that resolves URLs on behalf of

clients, mitigating some of the privacy issues surrounding URL

shortening.  It is envisioned that browser plugins and libraries for

other kinds of web clients will be able to talk to a shortcircuit

server and avoid resolving short URLs through the provider's own

servers.
