Description
Hi! I recently moved from Microbin to Wastebin, and I'm loving it so far.
What I am sorely missing from Microbin are custom slugs. i.e., the option to specify what goes into the URL..
e.g. bin.orangc.net/list-of-fish-i-like instead of being forced to use the random ID such as bin.orangc.net/9dplEggTQPd.
It would be awesome to see this in Wastebin.
Edit: perhaps an option in the instance settings to default the ID to be the title name?

Research direction
The issue does not name files or tests. Start by locating where paste IDs or slugs are generated and where instance settings are defined, then clarify how custom slugs, collisions, validation, and title-based defaults should work. Done means users can choose a URL slug reliably and the requested default behavior is covered by tests.
