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.

The current token handling is a mess. This simplifies things greatly:
* *All* tokens are obtained from action=query&meta=tokens, rather than
being spread over action=tokens, action=query&prop=info,
action=query&prop=revisions, action=query&prop=recentchanges, and
action=query&prop=users. All these old methods are deprecated.
* Similarly, there is only one hook to register new token types. All old
hooks are deprecated.
* All tokens are cacheable.
* Most token types are dropped in favor of a 'csrf' token. They already
were returning the same token anyway.
* All token-using modules will document the required token type in a
standard manner in action=help and are documented in machine-readable
fashion in action=paraminfo.
Note this will require updates to all extensions using tokens.

The format for 'props' was never specified and the list for 'errors' is
impossible to keep updated when considering that many errors come from
MediaWiki backend code and extension hook functions. And since there
doesn't seem to be any real use case for either of these, let's just
kill both of them instead of wasting effort on trying to fix them.
Note that neither getResultProperties nor getPossibleErrors are called
from any extensions in gerrit, and none of the other deprecated methods
are called outside of the implementations of those two methods. Removing
the obsolete methods is left to the maintainers of the extensions, as
keeping them hurts nothing and is needed to maintain compatibility with
earlier versions of MediaWiki.

While generator support was added to various actions, the continuation
parameters from the generators weren't being returned to the client.
This patch refactors the code for handling continuation out of ApiQuery
and into ApiResult, and then uses it in the other actions that need it.

When no pages are given in other modes, do not return a database error.

These are needed for OAuth grants.
Note that, even if 'editmywatchlist' is not granted, various actions
will still allow for adding but not removing of pages.

This allows extensions to modify the array.
This completes the serie of hooks for similar get methods in ApiBase.

This allows extensions to modify the param description of the ApiPageSet
params at once for each module, which used the ApiPageSet.

This was broken in I7a3d7b6e, when the ApiPageSet parameters stopped
being returned by getAllowedParams() and so by extractRequestParams().
Although it would be broken differently if they had been.

* PageSet can now be used in any action to process titles/pageids/revids
or any generator, redirects resolution, and converttitle functionality.
* action=purge proper usage of MustBePosted()
* Add supports for all pageset capabilities - generators, redirects, converttitles to
action=purge and action=setnotificationtimestamp
* BREAKING CHANGE: ApiPageSet constructor now has two params instead of three, with only the
first one keeping its meaning. ApiPageSet is now derived from ApiBase.
* BREAKING CHANGE: ApiQuery::newGenerator() and executeGeneratorModule() were deleted.

For historical reasons, all our API class had a dummy __construct which
simply calls their parent constructor. This patch removes all such
occurences to save out some bytes.

API was using SVN's version keyword which GIT does not support.
All related methods were either removed, or for those that
could have been used from extensions, emptied out.
api.php?version now shows unrecognized param warning.

ApiBase::getDB() doesn't take a parameter indicating whether DB_SLAVE or

It should be possible to query the notificationtimestamp as a page info
property, rather than only by querying the recent changes for the
watchlist. It should also be possible to clear or adjust the
notificationtimestamp via the API.
This patch does just that.
