action=block/action=unblock can not have the token required because when
using the gettoken param, the token param can not set.

Doxygen choke on text enclosed by '<' and '>' since it tries to
interpret them as HTML or XML elements. This patch adds double quotes
in includes/api/*.php files around the two following strings:
<Firstname>.<Lastname>@gmail.com
<Firstname><Lastname>@gmail.com
Which becomes:
"<Firstname>.<Lastname>@gmail.com"
"<Firstname><Lastname>@gmail.com"
Tested locally, it prevents doxygen 1.8.0 related warnings.

* Moving setting of empty string to param description.
* Removing word "(optional)" from comment/reason param, because all not
required params are optional.
* Correct description of action=rollback for default comment.

Added information about the properties of the results of API calls
to action=paraminfo, including information about "property groups":
what should the prop parameter be set to to get that property.
Uses the same format for types as parameters already do.
The output format of some modules doesn't fit this, so the result
properties for them weren't added, or only partially.
Partially implemented modules:
* expandtemplates:
parsetree is in its own tag
* protect, allusers, backlinks, deletedrevs, info, imageinfo,
logevents, querypage, recentchanges, revisions, searchinfo,
usercontribs, userinfo, users, watchlist, upload:
response with partially complex structure
Not implemented modules:
* feedcontributions, feedwatchlist, opensearch, rds:
non-standard reponse
* help:
error is normal response; not very useful for automated tools anyway
* paraminfo, parse, pageprops, siteinfo, userrights:
response with complex structure

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.
Rollback uses salted token, but as this is dealt with in the Article object, it was missed by myself when refactoring API code
Refactor code to generate salt, and save variables as needed (so not needlessly regenerated)
Hence fix for r62482 and r62557
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
"I wouldn't object to stylizing the API code to bring it in line with
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
