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

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.
Hope I did this in an ok fashion. svn merge --re-integrate was giving me issues
so I just essentially over-wrote my working copy with the version at img_metadata.
This treats metadata and similar properties to be deleted if the file is deleted, since they
are derived from the file, and i know examples of where the file was deleted to hide sensitive
data in exif. Does still show the file size if file is deleted, because that is what is done
in interface. Follows what ApiQueryLogEvents does and outputs userhidden="" if the user cannot
be displayed due to being hidden.
Due to this bug, all the secret oversight cabal info could be visible for images, so probably
should be merged into wmf stuff soon as possible.
Additionally, rename makeThumbParam back to getScale since that makes more sense now.
Also update the version number used in ForeignAPIRepo user-agent, since this is kind of significant change.
This adds a new parameter to the query=imageinfo (and query=stashimageinfo) that takes rendering
parameters other than width and height. This could be page for pdf's and DjVu, or thumbtime for ogg's, etc.
Syntax is &iiurlparam=param1=value1|param2=value2|... I'm not sure if that really fits with the normal way
of doing things in the api, but couldn't think of anything better since the parameters are arbitrary.
I also noticed that some of the pre-existing error codes in query=imageinfo seem to duplicate the module prefix. I'm
not sure what the deal with that is, but i did not follow that example in the new error codes i introduced.
Note: In order for this to work, both the foreign repo and the local wiki have to be running this code.
