Why:
* Maintenance scripts in core have bolierplate code that is
added before and after the class to allow directly running
the maintenance script.
* Running the maintenance script directly has been deprecated
since 1.40, so this boilerplate code is only to support a now
deprecated method of running maintenance scripts.
* This code cannot also be marked as covered, due to PHPUnit
not recognising code coverage for files.
* Therefore, it is best to ignore this boilerplate code in code
coverage reports as it cannot be marked as covered and also
is for deprecated code.
What:
* Wrap the boilerplate code (requiring Maintenance.php and then
later defining the maintenance script class and running if the
maintenance script was called directly) with @codeCoverageIgnore
comments.
* Some files use a different boilerplate code, however, these
should also be marked as ignored for coverage for the same
reason that coverage is not properly reported for files.

Maintenance class provides a method for getting a fresh reference
of the MW services container instance. Let's make use of these in
maintenance scripts now that we have it.
NOTE: There are still some static methods like in refreshLinks.php
that makes use of services that we can't use this method for now.

Currently even if the page does not exist at all this script just says
"there's no content" which is partially true. If the page does exist but with
no content and/or blank the same answer is also given, which is OK in that case
but less so in the former case.
Also handle special pages instead of throwing exception.

Benefit of keeping the parameter optional:
- In maintenance scripts that really only have one parameter, it's a
little more convenient to be able to ask for *the* parameter via an
empty getArg().
Disadvantages:
- It's unclear what getArg() means when there is no indication *which*
argument the code asks for. This might as well return the last
argument, or an array of all arguments.
- In scripts with two or more arguments, it's confusing to see
getArg( 1 ) next to an empty getArg().
- The methods are more complex and a bit more complicated to use with
the extra feature of this parameter being optional. Users need to
look up what the default is to be able to use it safely.

Function Content::getNativeData() was deprecated. Replace with
calls to new function TextContent::getText() in most places.

Deprecate the second argument to Maintenance::error() in favor of a new
Maintenance::fatalError() method. This is intended to make it easier to
review flow control in maintenance scripts.
