* Wrote two concrete implementations. LBFactory_Simple is for general installations. LBFactory_Multi will replace the runtime configuration used on Wikimedia and allow load-balanced connections to any DB.
* Ported Special:Userrights, CentralAuth and OAI audit to the LBFactory system.
* Added ForeignDBViaLBRepo, a file repository which uses LBFactory.
* Removed $wgLoadBalancer and $wgAlternateMaster
* Improved the query group concept to allow failover and lag control
* Improved getReaderIndex(), it will now try all servers before waiting, instead of waiting after each.
* Removed the $fail parameter to getConnection(), obsolete.
* Removed the useless force() function.
* Abstracted the replication position interface to allow for future non-MySQL support.
* Rearranged Database.php. Added a few debugging features.
* Removed ancient benet-specific hack from waitForSlave.php
Split out the remote accessors into a UserRightsProxy object, so the main interface code
doesn't have to worry about it -- it just uses the regular User object interface functions,
without caring that it's got a remote object here.
Should have cleaner behavior with numeric ID accesses as well; it now does a name lookup even for remote ones, and logs with that.
