Control filtering of Everyone and Friends streams

First, thanks for all your feedback on the NSFW filtering issue. There are a lot of opinions and people are obviously split on which way we should go. So we've decided to introduce a way to disable filtering.

If you'll look at the top of your friends/friends of friends/followers and everyone stream, you'll notice a new checkbox called "Show potentially NSFW content". If checked, Soup.io won't filter content marked as NSFW from your streams.

Please note that this setting is currently stored in your brower's cookie, and defaults to "off". We will store it in your user settings if we're happy with how this feature works.

We know that this isn't the best solution, and that e.g. per-post filtering would make more sense. We will keep working on it and eventually implement a better solution, but until then you at least have the option of choosing for yourself wether you'd like to filter or not.
