Add hook LoginFormValidErrorMessages to allow extensions, to add own valid
error messages to redirect to the login form.

For pages like Special:Watchlist that throw
a UserNotLoggedIn exception when the user is
anonymous, this patch makes the page redirect
to the login page automatically.
This is instead
of the current behavior of showing a link to
the login page that the user must click.
(Also, Special:Userlogin has existing functionality
that will redirect the user back once they are
logged in.)

Lots of small issues that could be very annoying:
* Usability regression: the user is not informed *why* they were
redirected to the login screen. Not even a generic "You must log in
to complete this action".
* When testing this on my watchlist, after logging in I am now redirected
to http://localhost/wiki/index.php?title=Watchlist&title=Special%3AWatchlist
(the title is repeated twice and one of them is incorrect). This
worked correctly before.
* SpecialPage::requireLogin() needs documentation and code updates.
* A whole ton of messages used in these prompts is now unused.
* Probably needs release notes.
I don't have the time to fix up myself right now, and a WMF
branch cut is looming. Let's just try this again later.
This reverts commit e0af129cbd.
