Different approach to fix XSS in issue2550817
Encapsulate the error/ok message append method as add_ok_message and
add_error_message. The new approach escapes the messages when appending
-- at a point in the code where we still know where the message comes
from. Escaping is the default but can bei turned off. This also fixes
issue2550836 where certain messages may contain links.
Another advantage of the new fix is that users don't need to change
installed trackers and are secure by default.
