This avoids documenting properties that may not be valid on the local
wiki, depending on which repos are actually available.
This patch also documents the other values available from repo types
available in MediaWiki core.

Links generated by the API are now aware of the user's preferred
language and will show documents in that language if available.
To test, log in to mediawiki.org and set your language preference to 'es',
then on an MediaWiki installation with this patch view the generated
expanded API help at `api.php?action=help&recursivesubmodules=1&modules=main`.
Each link to documentation on mediawiki.org should take you to its
translated /es subpage, if one exists.

This seems like a (slightly) cleaner system. We'll need to change
some documentation and add some configuration, but at least this will
be easier to handle.

Nothing in this patch should result in changed output for format=json or
format=php except as noted in RELEASE-NOTES-1.25, and changed output for
format=xml should be similar or cosmetic. However, other code accessing
the result data directly may need to be updated.

ApiResult was a mess: some methods could only be used with an array
reference instead of manipulating the stored data, methods that had both
array-ref and internal-data versions had names that didn't at all
correspond, some methods that worked on an array reference were
annoyingly non-static, and then the whole mess with setIndexedTagName.
ApiFormatXml is also entirely annoying to deal with, as it liked to
throw exceptions if certain metadata wasn't provided that no other
formatter required. Its legacy also means we have this silly convention
of using empty-string rather than boolean true, annoying restrictions on
keys (leading to things that should be hashes being arrays of key-value
object instead), '*' used as a key all over the place, and so on.
So, changes here:
* ApiResult is no longer an ApiBase or a ContextSource.
* Wherever sensible, ApiResult provides a static method working on an
arrayref and a non-static method working on internal data.
* Metadata is now always added to ApiResult's internal data structure.
Formatters are responsible for stripping it if necessary. "raw mode"
is deprecated.
* New metadata to replace the '*' key, solve the array() => '[]' vs '{}'
question, and so on.
* New class for formatting warnings and errors using i18n messages, and
support for multiple errors and a more machine-readable format for
warnings. For the moment, though, the actual output will not be changing
yet (see T47843 for future plans).
* New formatversion parameter for format=json and format=php, to select
between BC mode and the modern output.
* In BC mode, booleans will be converted to empty-string presence style;
modules currently returning booleans will need to use
ApiResult::META_BC_BOOLS to preserve their current output.
Actual changes to the API modules' output (e.g. actually returning
booleans for the new formatversion) beyond the use of
ApiResult::setContentValue() are left for a future change.

This also adds some new ApiBase::PARAM_* constants to generate more
helpful help, and a method to override the default description message
for the use of ApiDisabled and ApiQueryDisabled.

Which type is used depends on the ApiModuleManager responsible for
the API module. There are two managers, one in ApiMain and one in
ApiQuery. Both contain a list of API modules they instantiate.
Both use $this as the first parameter in the constructors of the
individual modules. There is no other regular way to instantiate the
modules, so we know the type must either be ApiMain or ApiQuery.
The lists don't intersect.
I would have prefered the naming scheme $mainModule for ApiMain
modules and $queryModule for ApiQuery modules but since this
doesn't add much I left the shorter variable names untouched.

We currently only return the image repository name for imageinfo, which
is not particularly useful, especially since image repositories aren't
accessible via the API. This patch adds meta=filerepoinfo, which will
return a list of repositories and relevant information (like the API URL
for ForeignAPIRepo ones)
Also returns the local repo now, and defaults to "all" in a more useful
fashion.
