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.

Maintenance class provides a method for getting a fresh reference
of the MW services container instance. Let's make use of these in
maintenance scripts now that we have it.
NOTE: There are still some static methods like in refreshLinks.php
that makes use of services that we can't use this method for now.

The non-strict conditions in if/while are true/false without the check.
In some situation the true/false is removed, because it is known to be a
bool (by is_bool check or type hint)

Also make --batch-size work and make an if check nicer
(makes no functional difference AFAICT).
