Subject: utils.rb: Utils.age_string to replace distance_of_time_in_words

We define a new age_string function which is a cleaner version of
distance_of_time_in_words. The latter gets removed as its only
in-tree usage was from timeago (which is the UI version that should
be used by plugins anyway).

Utils.timeago gets a revamp too, exploiting the new age_string function.
