[development] Pathauto scaleability - path column in node / user table

[Moshe Weitzman]

This would be just trhe 'primary' alias for a given object, right? Url alias
table holds additional aliases that work but aren't used for building links.
+1 from me. I hope someone volunteers for this. I don't think it is too much
code. Just fooling with the  path functions mainly.
