Infra says the right way to do it is to have a hub in TDF infra to forward to
the right place. That way we don't need to hard-code the URL in C++, which
saves in maintenance of older releases.

The current settings still depended on TDF infra to set the final destination. 
I expect (hope) this will be sorted by infra on 5.3 release.

Final settings of hub.l.o will forward fr, ru and cn to proper forum URL's (out
of TDF control) and all other languages to proper askbot.l.o within TDF.
Therefore:

1) fr, ru, cn are exceptions to the rule

2) a specific entry "Forum" will trigger the need of forums in all languages,
which is not what we want today. Askbot was choosen instead of a generic forum
around 2012.

Summary: Still WIP in the infra side.
