[PATCH] Allow wiki syntax in labels for custom fields

[pkou <pkou at ua.fm>]

The proposal is to add a possibility to use Wiki syntax in labels for custom fields.

Example 1: We need to put emphasis on Platform field

[ticket-custom]
platform         = select
platform.order   = 1
platform.label   = '''Platform'''
platform.options = |Intel P4|Intel XEON|AMD Athlon 64|Other

Example 2: We need to define a link to help screen for Platform field

[ticket-custom]
platform         = select
platform.order   = 1
platform.label   = [wiki:HelpPlatform Platform]
platform.options = |Intel P4|Intel XEON|AMD Athlon 64|Other

Attached patch contains an implementation for the proposal.

It is easy :)
