+ Generate a unique slug for this MediaEntry.

+ This one does not *force* slugs, but usually it will probably result
+ in a niceish one.
+
+ The end *result* of the algorithm will result in these resolutions for
+ these situations:
+ - If we have a slug, make sure it's clean and sanitized, and if it's
+ unique, we'll use that.
+ - If we have a title, slugify it, and if it's unique, we'll use that.
+ - If we can't get any sort of thing that looks like it'll be a useful
+ slug out of a title or an existing slug, bail, and don't set the
+ slug at all. Don't try to create something just because. Make
+ sure we have a reasonable basis for a slug first.
+ - If we have a reasonable basis for a slug (either based on existing
+ slug or slugified title) but it's not unique, first try appending
+ the entry's id, if that exists
+ - If that doesn't result in something unique, tack on some randomly
+ generated bits until it's unique. That'll be a little bit of junk,
+ but at least it has the basis of a nice slug.
