Item1729: Have more flexibility in Twisty's remember setting

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Normal	Closed	Extension	TwistyPlugin

This use case came up in Item881:

1. Multiple attachment tables can be on one page, so the attachment twisty cannot have a fixed id
2. The state of having the attachment twisty opened or closed should be set site-wide, not per topic

The current implementation is as follows:

1. If for TWISTY the param id is set, that id is used
2. If no id is set, a generic id is created, based on web, topic and twisty order
3. If for TWISTY the param remember is set to on, the twisty state is stored in a cookie, with the preference name based on the id

We need a creative solution to let this all work together.

I am pondering to append a sequential number to the id. That would make the id unique. Possibly only works for TWISTY, not for TWISTYBUTTON and TWISTYTOGGLE, because these may be located elsewhere on the page.

That did the trick. It works automatically for TWISTY; for TWISTYBUTTON and TWISTYTOGGLE you still need to create your own unique id.
