** Database constructor calling sequence, and Database::newFromParams()

* Changes related to post-parse link colouring
** Turn the link cache back on when using it for updating the links table
** No longer need to call preFill() on page view
* Better synchronisation of slave servers
** Rearranged getConnection()
** System for beginning and committing transactions when multiple connections are open
** wfAbruptExit() commits transactions, wfErrorExit() does not. Various functions changed to use wfErrorAbort()
* Allowed reporting of database errors during deferred updates by moving them above output()
* DB_WRITE now called DB_MASTER, DB_READ now called DB_SLAVE
* Converted to use SQL wrapper functions instead of direct SQL in various places
* Experimental method for preserving the chronological order of events when slave servers are used. Untested.
* Fixes to the new post-parse existence test feature

Automatic or manual collapsing and expanding of long pages.
Pages can be collapsed automatically according to a size threshold
set in the user preferences. Pages can be collapsed manually by clicking
the "Collapse" link in the TOC.
When a page is collapsed, only the intro & TOC are displayed. The
individual TOC lines link to section views, which can be individually edited
(classic section editing).
Section editing/viewing behavior has also been improved. When a section
with subsections is viewed or edited, all subsections are also loaded.
Known issues:
- After saving a section, we return to the full article view
rather than the section view, even if we previously were in section view
mode.
- Should work with Standard and Monobook, not tested with Cologne Blue yet.
- In Monobook, no backlink to the mother article is shown during section
viewing (Gabriel, can you fix that?)
* Add 'pagetitle' message to customize the HTML page title format (eg, "$1 - Wikipedia Encyclopedia")
* Some XHTML fixes to Nostalgia skin, prefs
* Removing the unfinished Smarty skins, renamed Standard to Classic
* Remove "gnunote" message in favor of general "copyright" msg, which is filled with the link & name in $wgRightsPage/$wgRightsURL and $wgRightsText
* Support a copyright-related icon as $wgRightsIcon (includes sample gnu-fdl.png)
* Show "Powered by MediaWiki" icon in footer (poweredby_mediawiki_88x31.png by Dan Carlson)
on the Creative Commons and Dublin Core links so they can be identified by
humans in Mozilla's navigation bar. Add a <link rel='copyright'> as well if
$wgRightsPage or $wgRightsUrl is set. Fix metadata links for MonoBook.
Disable Smarty skins.
If these features are turned on (with global flags), a metadata link tag is
provided to the appropriate action ('dublincore' or 'creativecommons'). When
the wiki script receives these actions, it creates RDF files on the fly.
Also includes two valuable general functions: one to show an HTTP error
(used when the flags are turned off), and one to do content negotiation
(used to determine the MIME type for RDF files).
A helper function is also added to page output to display metadata links.
