This allows setting some properties of the toot directly while editing the message. It is backwards-compatible with the use of # for comment lines and forwards-compatible with the introduction of new metadata comments in the future. The supported ones are listed in the explanatory message appended to the text in the editor.
In case of errors, the composed toot is fed back into the editor, including a message about what went wrong.
The command-line arguments are reset so that if the corresponding metacomment is removed the default value for the parameter is used again. This ensures that the output from the editor is consistent.
As discussed on IRC, remove the filtering of lines starting with a hash-sign. This allows pasting snippets of code that with # as comment symbol, and allows hashtags to start on an empy line. Metadata support is moved to a YAML-style header similar to what Jekyll uses. We don't go full YAML though, just a simple key: value syntax (the same as before, but without the # in front).

This is intended to close #202 by allowing key: value metadata to be added to the toot text in the editor . All command-line options are supported and can be overriden from the editor. Comment support is removed (per IRC conversation) in favor of a YAML-style metadata block (not actual YAML though).
