ApiFeedRecentChanges uses special page logic (eew) to do its thing.
Lacking the time at the moment to refactor the business logic, let's at
least pass the parsed parameters in via a FauxRequest instead of
allowing the special page logic to do its own interpretation of the raw
parameters.
This makes it so all recognized timestamp formats are supported (instead
of only TS_MW) and fixes the interpretation of booleans to match API
standards.

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.

The format for 'props' was never specified and the list for 'errors' is
impossible to keep updated when considering that many errors come from
MediaWiki backend code and extension hook functions. And since there
doesn't seem to be any real use case for either of these, let's just
kill both of them instead of wasting effort on trying to fix them.
Note that neither getResultProperties nor getPossibleErrors are called
from any extensions in gerrit, and none of the other deprecated methods
are called outside of the implementations of those two methods. Removing
the obsolete methods is left to the maintainers of the extensions, as
keeping them hurts nothing and is needed to maintain compatibility with
earlier versions of MediaWiki.

Prior to fc20c30d20, the feed was cached for 10 seconds. That
change accidentally removed varnish caching. Re-add the caching,
and upping to 15 seconds for good measure (15 second delay on the RSS
feed shouldn't matter, people generally read those asynchronously
anyhow. I was thinking of maybe even uping to 30 seconds). Users
can still manually set an smaxage parameter via the url if they
don't like the default cache time.
This assumes nothing private (e.g. per user) is ever on the RSS
feed. Reading through the ChangesList code this appears to be
the case, as everyone is getting the feed from a shared
memcache entry.

I should have done it at the beginning instead of trying to
extract it from recent changes.
Same for SpecialRecentChanges and SpecialRecentChangesLinked
(subclasses).
Created a new API module for it: ApiFeedRecentChanges.
It's somewhat un-API-like and hackish, but all feed modules are.
Old URLs redirect to new ones, so this should be fully
backwards-compatible assuming sane feed reader clients.
