1 line patch to pad unique number to size specified in {{info}}

Allow fixed link (0 padded) article names when generated from AddData.

Without padding, the article name returned from <unique number . . .> is variable, which can cause multiple issues.  The most common is when sorting by name.  Example:

1
11
12
. . .
2
21

etc.  The attached patch would allow the editor to specify a fixed length value, so that sorts would be sequential.  Example, page name=-<unique number;start=000000> would create sequential articles i.e.:

000000
000001
000002
. . .
000010
000011
. . . 
000020

Requires patch to SF_AddData and update to documentation: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms#The_one-step_process

Backward compatible.
