Some User methods fail if they are called before $wgRequest is
set. But according to the Setup.php comment, it is only set for b/c.
The global request object can be lazy-initialised at any time.
This is sufficient to avoid T263911 (loss/obfuscation of the $wgServer
error message).
In tests, try to keep $wgRequest and RequestContext::$request in sync.
Introduce MediaWikiIntegrationTestCase::setRequest() which sets both at
once, and use that instead of setMwGlobals() or direct assignment.
BlockManagerTest was accidentally exploiting the fact that the global
context request and $wgRequest were separate objects. Making them the
same causes session cookies to appear in the response, breaking the
cookie counts. Use a new response for the test.

The name change happened some time ago, and I think its
about time to start using the name name!
(Done with a find and replace)
My personal motivation for doing this is that I have started
trying out vscode as an IDE for mediawiki development, and
right now it doesn't appear to handle php aliases very well
or at all.
