Geohack moves to stable toolserver

I'm moving my "Geohack" script from the "normal" to the stable
toolserver. That will have many benefits:
* Less clogging of the normal toolserver, as this is one of the most
queried scripts there
* Runs (almost) alone on the new machine
* More stability/reliability
* Multiple maintainers
* New layout! (well, some minor tweaks at least)

The new URL is:
http://stable.toolserver.org/geohack

Example:
http://stable.toolserver.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Berlin¶ms=52_31_00_N_13_25_00_E_region:DE-BE_type:city(3416300)

Please see to it that the appropriate templates are changed, at least
on the major wikis. The transcluded pages need to be fixed as well
(language links etc.)

Both versions will run in parallel for a while, then the normal
toolserver and the old stable server (stable.ts.wikimedia.org) will be
turned into redirects.

Welcome your new stable overlords!

Magnus
