* PageSet can now be used in any action to process titles/pageids/revids
or any generator, redirects resolution, and converttitle functionality.
* action=purge proper usage of MustBePosted()
* Add supports for all pageset capabilities - generators, redirects, converttitles to
action=purge and action=setnotificationtimestamp
* BREAKING CHANGE: ApiPageSet constructor now has two params instead of three, with only the
first one keeping its meaning. ApiPageSet is now derived from ApiBase.
* BREAKING CHANGE: ApiQuery::newGenerator() and executeGeneratorModule() were deleted.

This is a non-versioned part of the larger patch #41014https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/41014
It will allow help subsystem optimization (merging paraminfo and help),
path towards per-module or per-system versioning, removal of the
manually maintained generator lists.
Changes:
* ApiModuleManager now handles all submodules (actions,props,lists) and instantiation
* ApiModuleManager maintains a cache of all instantiated modules
* Query stores prop/list/meta as submodules
* action=help suports generalized submodules (modules=query+value), querymodules obsolete

API was using SVN's version keyword which GIT does not support.
All related methods were either removed, or for those that
could have been used from extensions, emptied out.
api.php?version now shows unrecognized param warning.

Doxygen choke on text enclosed by '<' and '>' since it tries to
interpret them as HTML or XML elements. This patch adds double quotes
in includes/api/*.php files around the two following strings:
<Firstname>.<Lastname>@gmail.com
<Firstname><Lastname>@gmail.com
Which becomes:
"<Firstname>.<Lastname>@gmail.com"
"<Firstname><Lastname>@gmail.com"
Tested locally, it prevents doxygen 1.8.0 related warnings.

Added information about the properties of the results of API calls
to action=paraminfo, including information about "property groups":
what should the prop parameter be set to to get that property.
Uses the same format for types as parameters already do.
The output format of some modules doesn't fit this, so the result
properties for them weren't added, or only partially.
Partially implemented modules:
* expandtemplates:
parsetree is in its own tag
* protect, allusers, backlinks, deletedrevs, info, imageinfo,
logevents, querypage, recentchanges, revisions, searchinfo,
usercontribs, userinfo, users, watchlist, upload:
response with partially complex structure
Not implemented modules:
* feedcontributions, feedwatchlist, opensearch, rds:
non-standard reponse
* help:
error is normal response; not very useful for automated tools anyway
* paraminfo, parse, pageprops, siteinfo, userrights:
response with complex structure
Change-Id: Iff2a9bef79f994e73eef3062b4dd5461bff968ab
Now formatted in the autogenerated documentation
Format for paraminfo adds a description attribute to output
query allimages descriptions are tranformed, need to do/add to other ones
It's a parctice that dates back to 2006 when the API was first written, and frankly isn't covered by the coding conventions. Same thing with the docblocks, they're all copypasted with some bits changed and don't even make sense if you look at them in the genereated code docs.
I don't feel that any of us depend on this anymore (get a better IDE), so in the inerest of consistancy it's time we said goodbye to it.
Start of this bug, fleshed out base code implemented, plus a few key modules (will finish rest up soon)
Tweaked/improved/updated some documentation as I went through also
Base has empty array() returning method, ApiBlock has implementation of possibleErrors from code above (possibly not complete)
Can be finished incrementally, so serves as a review point for Roan
"I wouldn't object to stylizing the API code to bring it in line with
the rest of MW on principle, but I'm not gonna bother myself." --Roan
