recognizable author's address section, and not searching for
author names earlier in the document if found. Fixes a known
bad case where the author name occurred in the middle of a draft.
* Added handling for the case where an author name is followed by
parentheses which are not closed on the same line.
* Some refactoring.

Addresses issue #628, using reverse() and the newly created helper function
reverse_lazy() (found in ietf/utils/lazy.py) to DRY out the code a bit by
decoupling the urls from being hardcoded.
With this commit idrfc, and ipr modules have been modified to take advantage
of the reverse() and reverse_lazy() functions.

information: draft.get_author_info(). This method returns a list of
(full_name, first_name, middle_part, surname, suffix, email), with
middle_part, suffix and email set to None if none was found.

* Extraction of Title which don't have the draft name on a separate
page fails. See for instance this example:
http://www.ietf.org/staging/draft-ma-cdni-publisher-use-cases-00.txt
The regex should maybe be updated to permit but not require a newline
before the draft filename:
'(?:\n\s*\n\s*)((.+\n){1,2}(.+\n?))(\s+<?draft-\S+\s*\n)\s*\n'
* If there are blank lines before the start of the author list on the
first page, the author extraction will fail. This sometimes happens
when there's junk at the start of a draft, see for instance
http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-mpls-tp-process-00.txt .
* Sometimes the Authors' Addresses section lists authors with the same
workplace address on the same line: "Sam Spade and Joe Smith". This
needs a fix in the author extraction code.
* Sometimes the order of first name, surname is different on the first
page and in the author list, and sometimes the surname is uppercase
in one place, but not in the other. This also needs a fix in the
author extraction code.
* The header stripping code had a bug, where multiple blank lines could
be replaced by a single blank line in the stripped text, which could
mess up title extraction.
* Title space normalization should be done also for titles from the
'unusual title format' code branch of the title extraction code.
* Company names on the first page are sometimes rendered with different
case than in the Authors' Addresses section.
* Some drafts list the draft filename _before_ the title, rather than
after the title. Permit this too. Covered in the patch.
* Spanish names can be shown as either
<given_name> <fathers_first_surname> <mothers_first_surname>
or less formally as
<given_name> <fathers_first_surname>
If the first form is used in the Authors' Addresses section, but the
second form (with the given name possibly abbreviated to its first
letter) the author extraction will fail.
* Drafts containing tabs will be caught by idnits during I-D submission,
but in case the drafts.py module is used independently from idnits,
convert tabs to spaces in order for the author extraction and other
methods to work as expected. Example: recently submitted draft
draft-bergeron-payload-rtpfec-rs-00.txt.
* Found a draft with a previously unhandled header/footer format:
draft-fang-mpls-tp-oam-toolset-01.txt. Tweak needed for header/footer
stripping.
