This implements an mb_str_pad fallback function, but there is no mb_str_pad in PHP documentation, and the doc comments are really weird -- it says it returns an integer!
If this function is created from whole cloth and doesn't exist in PHP, it should be given a MediaWiki style name and not be done with a function_exists check as though it were a compat function.
* Use an associative array to initialise LoadBalancer objects
* By default, use Preprocessor_DOM if available, otherwise use Preprocessor_Hash. Preprocessor_Hash has worse performance.
* Fix parserTests.php for replicated databases. Use CREATE TABLE instead of CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE if there is more than one server configured.
* Log exceptions even in command-line mode.
This hook allows for modification of the title and text of a template which is being transcluded.

This hook seems a bit oddly placed to me; the template gets fetched locally, and *then* we give the opportunity to fetch it remotely instead? Just seems to be in the wrong order, and pretty unclear.

$url and $alt parameters in makeExternalImage() are now normalized to be escaped on output instead of before they reach the function. This ensures that any hooks processing them won't accidentally send plaintext which might become an injection vector, or just get confused on pre-escaped input they didn't expect.
* Wrote a tool to check the integrity of the autoloader class list, fixed some issues that came up.
* Start the autoloader before LocalSettings.php, so that when an extension writer thinks an inefficient one-file special page extension is the way to go, they don't have to use explicit includes to make the class inheritance work. Should continue to work with $IP set in LocalSettings.php as long as $IP is set before extensions are included.
