When creating a review, the "Bugs" field accepts comma-separated list of bug numbers. I've noticed that when you enter the number as e.g. #42, RB will silently accept it, but create invalid URL with "#" included, because it expects the bug numbers to be, well, numbers. But some people are in the habit of entering bug references as #num (such as my colleague who entered it like that into RB couple of days ago), so it would be nice if RB accepted this form too.

This patch does exactly that: when setting bug numbers, leading # is (silently) removed. As a side effect, I also changed the way 'bugs_closed' field is processed to be more robust: it recognizes not only '' as empty, but any whitespace, and is now resistant to typos like "42,,43,".
Tested various combinations of inputs both with and without # and with/without excessive use of "," and whitespace on our test installation of RB.
