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 user 'Maintenance script' is often used to perform various
automated tasks. Providing it everywhere as a string literal is
error-prone, and errors can be somewhat disruptive (e.g. with
User::newSystemUser with steal=true it can erase the credentials
of a legitimate account). Provide a constant instead.
Also replace existing uses for consistency.

Deprecate the second argument to Maintenance::error() in favor of a new
Maintenance::fatalError() method. This is intended to make it easier to
review flow control in maintenance scripts.

When importing a file whose name contains a #, the script would call
e.g. Title::newFromText( '#foo' ), which succeeds (because titles
are allowed to contain fragments) but causes problems when trying
to create the revision.
Also avoid fatals on actual invalid titles.

The Windows command line doesn't automatically expand wildcards, unlike
Unix shells. So the script tried to run function calls like
file_get_contents( '*.txt' ), which do not work. This patch uses glob()
to simulate the behaviour of the Unix shell.

- Add --bot to mark edits as bot edits when --rc is specified
- Add --overwrite to overwrite existing pages with changes.
This respects the --use-timestamp option by only overwriting if
the file is newer than the latest revision on the destination page.
- Add --prefix for specifying a prefix
- Add --rc to add an edit entry to Special:RecentChanges
This is a GCI task.

importTextFiles.php can be used to import pages from text files
containing wikitext.
Also, added $userObj to WikiRevision so that it can accept a User
object instead of just a username.
This is a GCI task.
