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 :)
Change-Id: Id9b2c9cd2e678197aa81c78adced5d1d31ff57b1
The user_options migration messages were not prefixed with '...' and
were split on several lines. This patch make the output messages more
inline with the existant ones.

. <-- that is a patch of ink sorry. ><OO>
Added run of ConvertUserOptions maintenance script into update.php before dropping the column
Removed usages of user_options in code
Marked User::decodeOptions() deprecated as of 1.19.
Made ConvertUserOptions drop out early if the user_options field doesn't exist
Made ConvertUserOptions update user_options to '' after migration of user options to mOptions
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
