[llvm-dev] Phabricator "O<n>" link expansion.

As a sample, I saw this in https://reviews.llvm.org/D36352 but have seen it
around for a while.

Basically, when Phab sees the string `O3` it will expand it to a big nasty
link `https://reviews.llvm.org/owners/package/3/` on the mailing list,
obscuring the intent.

As we don't seem to use this "owners" feature for much (as far as I can
tell) but do use strings like `O2` `O3` very frequently, it would be nice
to somehow disable this expansion for `O` strings.

(I created a test Diff for it here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D36367)

For the O3 one (https://reviews.llvm.org/owners/package/3/; which just
looked like spam) I tried to change its permissions so that it is only
visible to me, but that doesn't seem to prevent the expansion.

I've CC'd some folks that are on the only other two "Owners" things.
https://reviews.llvm.org/owners/query/all/

At the very least, if we want to keep using this feature, it would be good
to create a couple dummy ones and then somehow permanently delete the O1,
O2, O3 ones (https://secure.phabricator.com/Q230 ?) (as long as that blocks
the expansion).
