We can now do this since we finally switched to PHP 5.3 for MW 1.20 and get rid of the silly dirname(__FILE__) stuff :)

Until now, we relied on setting MW_NO_SETUP which was a) hacky, b) irreversable, and c) likely to be forgotten if you didn't use one of the wrappers like runChild().
Instead, move the freaky magic to doMaintenance and have *it* check if it's in a specific call stack that indicates this is being run from the file scope and should be executed. Rename DO_MAINTENANCE to RUN_MAINTENANCE_IF_MAIN so it's nice and clear what magic happens behind the require_once().
* Docs have been updated to indicate the standard on how to write maintenance scripts (MW.org docs will follow) Have ported vast majority of maintenance scripts to new format. Remaining ones (mostly FiveUpgrade-related) are a bit more tricky. commandLine.inc is untouched for now. Many have gotten code-style updates as well. Deleted .inc files were only used by their .php counterparts, and have been merged into single files.
* (bug 11867) Lock error on redirect table when running orphans.php
* (bug 16322) Allow maintenance scripts to accept DB user/pass over input or params
* (bug 18566) Maintenance script to un/protect pages
* initStats overhaul, now uses class SiteStatsInit. Also fixes bug 18930
* (bug 16322) Allow maint scripts to accept DB user/pass over input or params if no AdminSettings.php
* (bug 18768) Remove AdminSettings.php from MediaWiki core
* (bug 19157) createAndPromote error on bad password
* (bug 14201) Create AdminSettings.php during wiki installation, in the same way as LocalSettings.php
* Introduce new Maintenance class framework and port a good number of scripts over; the ones that are left are a little more complicated. Read the docs.
* Not deleting "unused" files yet, don't want to break everything at once :)
* Fix fatal error: access to undefined static member variable AutoLoader::$localClasses, use $wgAutoloadLocalClasses instead
* Use a regexp if parsekit_compile_file() doesn't exist.
* Wrote a tool to check the integrity of the autoloader class list, fixed some issues that came up.
* Start the autoloader before LocalSettings.php, so that when an extension writer thinks an inefficient one-file special page extension is the way to go, they don't have to use explicit includes to make the class inheritance work. Should continue to work with $IP set in LocalSettings.php as long as $IP is set before extensions are included.
