add Slugify for making URL-safe slugs out of text

Slugify lowercases text and keeps only ASCII letters and digits, turning every
run of other characters into a single hyphen with none left at either end.
Comes with a doc comment and table-driven tests. (closes #9)

// Slugify returns input as lowercase ASCII letters, digits and hyphens, which
// is safe to put in a URL path, a filename or a fragment identifier. Every run
// of other characters becomes a single hyphen, and the result never starts or
// ends with one.
//
// Characters outside ASCII are treated as separators rather than being folded
// to their nearest ASCII relative, because doing that properly needs a Unicode
// table that this package does not carry. Text with no ASCII letters or digits
// in it therefore slugifies to an empty string.
