* Removed permissions check from WikiPage::doUpdateRestrictions() and left it for callers, resolves the todo from documentation
* Inverted $expiry and $reason parameter between WikiPage::doUpdateRestrictions() and WikiPage::updateRestrictions() for more consistency; WikiPage::doUpdateRestrictions() also requires all parameters to be passed
* WikiPage::doUpdateRestrictions() returns a Status object instead of bool for the older one; only possible error at the moment is a read-only database
* Updated core calls to these functions
* Made maintenance scripts using it simply protect all actions returned by Title::getRestrictionTypes() instead of hardcoded 'edit' and 'move'
* This also means that protect.php can be used to protect a non-existing page for creation
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.
Deprecate old watch/unwatch parameters
Move generic watchlist stuff to ApiBase/getWatchlistValue (maybe needs renaming better?)
Tweak some braces in ApiEditPage
Move token requringness check to the ApiMain
Adding an exception if we're using "gettoken" (block/unblock)
Remove array( 'missingparam', 'token' ), from the getPossibleErrors of modules that set requireToken method to true

the rest of MW on principle, but I'm not gonna bother myself." --Roan

If you're seeing this commit in blames, tell your blame tool to ignore
whitespace, e.g., git blame -w or svn blame -x -w.
* Instead of hiding read-restricted modules, throw an error when a user without read rights tries to use them
* Do the same for write modules when $wgEnableWriteAPI is false
* Indicate whether a module needs read or write rights in action=help and action=paraminfo
* BREAKING CHANGE: action=purge now requires write rights and, for anonymous users, a POST request
* Changed Article::updateRestrictions()'s $cascade parameter to a reference which is set to false if cascading protection isn't allowed
* Used this in ApiProtect
* Expand help message for &cascade a bit
