Storing the user name or IP in every row in large tables like revision
and logging takes up space and makes operations on these tables slower.
This patch begins the process of moving those into one "actor" table
which other tables can reference with a single integer field.
A subsequent patch will remove the old columns.

From 21% to 82%.
* Added missing @covers, broadened @covers where appropriate.
* Added tests for some code that lacked them.
* Added a parameter to control the use of hash_pbkdf2() so that the pure
PHP fallback could be tested. In the non-fallback test, force the use
of the extension, and mark it skipped if it is not installed.

This patch adds an ug_expiry column to the user_groups table, a timestamp
giving a date when the user group expires. A new UserGroupMembership class,
based on the Block class, manages entries in this table.
When the expiry date passes, the row in user_groups is ignored, and will
eventually be purged from the DB when UserGroupMembership::insert is next
called. Old, expired user group memberships are not kept; instead, the log
entries are available to find the history of these memberships, similar
to the way it has always worked for blocks and protections.
Anyone getting user group info through the User object will get correct
information. However, code that reads the user_groups table directly will
now need to skip over rows with ug_expiry < wfTimestampNow(). See
UsersPager for an example of how to do this.
NULL is used to represent infinite (no) expiry, rather than a string
'infinity' or similar (except in the API). This allows existing user group
assignments and log entries, which are all infinite in duration, to be
treated the same as new, infinite-length memberships, without special
casing everything.
The whole thing is behind the temporary feature flag
$wgDisableUserGroupExpiry, in accordance with the WMF schema change policy.
The opportunity has been taken to refactor some static user-group-related
functions out of User into UserGroupMembership, and also to add a primary
key (ug_user, ug_group) to the user_groups table.
There are a few breaking changes:
- UserRightsProxy-like objects are now required to have a
getGroupMemberships() function.
- $user->mGroups (on a User object) is no longer present.
- Some protected functions in UsersPager are altered or removed.
- The UsersPagerDoBatchLookups hook (unused in any Wikimedia Git-hosted
extension) has a change of parameter.

Make password policies defined in a configurable policy, which is
defined by group. A user's password policy will be the maximum of
each group policy that the user belongs to.
