Previously, it used a pre-commit hook which ran just before the
end of the DB transaction round.
Also removed unused User::incEditCountImmediate() method.

This method encourages directly editing configuration variables. It's a
better idea to use setMwGlobals() (or other set wrappers) so that we can
be intelligent in the future, for instance resetting services after the
config change. Plus, a lot of the callers come out cleaner this way
anyway.
