Add nginx detection to the Permalink Settings screen.

Introduces got_url_rewrite() and a corresponding filter, which should now be used in lieu of the got_rewrite filter in got_mod_rewrite().

This does not write or even suggest nginx configuration; rather, it prevents nginx from being considered as either Apache or as an unrecognized server.
