Mysqli is returning SELECTed ints as strings rather than as ints, I'm
guessing to avoid problems with 64-bit int types on 32-bit systems. PHP
mostly doesn't care, but it causes API JSON output to have strings
instead of ints all over the place.
This also fixes ForeignAPIFile::getUser( 'id' ) returning the user
*name*.

Nothing in this patch should result in changed output for format=json or
format=php except as noted in RELEASE-NOTES-1.25, and changed output for
format=xml should be similar or cosmetic. However, other code accessing
the result data directly may need to be updated.

This also adds some new ApiBase::PARAM_* constants to generate more
helpful help, and a method to override the default description message
for the use of ApiDisabled and ApiQueryDisabled.

ApiPageSet::getAllTitlesByNamespace is fine when that's what you want.
But in all existing uses in core, it's not what's actually wanted.
* ApiQueryBacklinksprop can generate wrong ORDER BY because it considers
redirect and invalid titles that it doesn't acutally query.
* ApiQueryCategoryInfo raises a fatal error with category redirects.
* ApiQueryDuplicateFiles and ApiQueryImageInfo will add information for
redirects, leaving them missing the standard data and missing from
indexpageids.
What all these need is really something along the lines of
"ApiPageSet::getGoodAndMissingTitlesByNamespace". So let's add that,
plus a few similar methods for good measure.

With the success of prop=redirects, let's create prop=linkshere,
prop=transcludedin, and prop=fileusage.
Let's also add a miser-mode-sensitive 'namespace' parameter to
prop=redirects, since the other three have a 'namespace' parameter using
the new *_from_namespace fields.
