Why:
* Maintenance scripts in core have bolierplate code that is
added before and after the class to allow directly running
the maintenance script.
* Running the maintenance script directly has been deprecated
since 1.40, so this boilerplate code is only to support a now
deprecated method of running maintenance scripts.
* This code cannot also be marked as covered, due to PHPUnit
not recognising code coverage for files.
* Therefore, it is best to ignore this boilerplate code in code
coverage reports as it cannot be marked as covered and also
is for deprecated code.
What:
* Wrap the boilerplate code (requiring Maintenance.php and then
later defining the maintenance script class and running if the
maintenance script was called directly) with @codeCoverageIgnore
comments.
* Some files use a different boilerplate code, however, these
should also be marked as ignored for coverage for the same
reason that coverage is not properly reported for files.

Maintenance class provides a method for getting a fresh reference
of the MW services container instance. Let's make use of these in
maintenance scripts now that we have it.
NOTE: There are still some static methods like in refreshLinks.php
that makes use of services that we can't use this method for now.

User::findUsersByGroup has a hard limit of 5000 users, so put it
in a loop. While we are there, replace a deprecated method, handle
failures and make the output a bit more pretty.
