So far, our key derivation code assumed that it has control over
the salt used by the derivation routines, however I want to add Argon2
support and it doesn't work this way: password_hash() generates the
salt itself, and the only way to verify a password is by using
password_verify(). Current way the things are done doesn't support it
because it relies on the result of password hashing with parameters we
provide to be deterministic.
Therefore, I'm deprecating Password::equals(), as well as whole concept
of comparing Password objects - it's used only in tests anyway. It's
getting replaced with verify() that only accepts password strings.
Uses of old function are fixed with exception of a few calls in tests
that will be addressed in my Argon2 patch.

If anyone wants such a thing, they can make their own extension.
I asked stewards, and they said they don't use this.

This is more consistent with LoadBalancer, modern, and inclusive
of master/master mysql, NDB cluster, and MariaDB galera cluster.
The old constant is an alias now.

Barring ChronologyProtector failure (which itself falls back
to waitForReplication) on account creation, this should be fine.

This implements the AuthManager class and its needed interfaces and
subclasses, and integrates them into the backend portion of MediaWiki.
Integration with frontend portions of MediaWiki (e.g. ApiLogin,
Special:Login) is left for a followup.
