Use offset_linkid instead of offset to scan >1000 entities.
this is a first-cut. It works in all the ways I could make earlier
versions fail. It passes link_id as URL parameters. It also has a new
class LinkCreator which makes the main body of getListContents even easier
to write.
I wasn't sure if link_id's could have non alphanumeric characters; if so, they
need to be URL encoded/decoded.
I also need to go and remove any mention of raw offsets now, because we don't
use them.
I believe I've talked about this approach with a few of you and it sounded
reasonable. Feel free to roll-back/fix/amend/comment-for-me-to-fix. This is
my first big-logic-change to Melange.

"""
Takes two datetime objects and returns the time between d and now
as a nicely formatted string, e.g. "10 minutes". If d occurs after now,
then "0 minutes" is returned.
Units used are years, months, weeks, days, hours, and minutes.
Seconds and microseconds are ignored. Up to two adjacent units will be
displayed. For example, "2 weeks, 3 days" and "1 year, 3 months" are
possible outputs, but "2 weeks, 3 hours" and "1 year, 5 days" are not.
