Create slugs and use them to link to rooms

@Hosseinamraji how download what?

So, it's not immediately obvious what a room link should look like, based on what's here. As a straw man, how about:

http://rocket.chat/room/57om6EQCcFami9wuT/general

Sound reasonable?

Another option is to just use the room name, ie:

http://rocket.chat/room/general

However, this suffers the problem that if the room is renamed, the link no longer works, whereas the former you can still look up by id.

I'm going to take a crack at implementing the first suggestion, and we can tweak it in the PR if needed.

We already stated to work on this, so please wait a couple is days and you
will see your second option implemented :)
