Why:
* Maintenance scripts in core have bolierplate code that is
added before and after the class to allow directly running
the maintenance script.
* Running the maintenance script directly has been deprecated
since 1.40, so this boilerplate code is only to support a now
deprecated method of running maintenance scripts.
* This code cannot also be marked as covered, due to PHPUnit
not recognising code coverage for files.
* Therefore, it is best to ignore this boilerplate code in code
coverage reports as it cannot be marked as covered and also
is for deprecated code.
What:
* Wrap the boilerplate code (requiring Maintenance.php and then
later defining the maintenance script class and running if the
maintenance script was called directly) with @codeCoverageIgnore
comments.
* Some files use a different boilerplate code, however, these
should also be marked as ignored for coverage for the same
reason that coverage is not properly reported for files.

And start using them instead of wfGetDB(), LB/LBF connection methods or
worse, $this->getDB().
$this->getDB() reuses the database object regardless of whether you're
calling a replica or primary, leading to returning a replica on a
primary and other way around.

It's one-class namespace and I know it's not great but:
- I hope to add more classes with the redesign of externallinks table
- It's not named very well either, it's a collection of URL-related
functionalities
- Making it clear LinkFilter is about external links, not internal or
interwiki or templatelinks etc.
