The unit tests spend nearly half of their run time resetting the user table for
each test. But the majority of tests do not depend on the user table having the
exact value that the setup code resets it to, and do not need to modify the
user objects they require to run.
Fix that by providing an API for tests to get User objects, and to indicate
whether the User object will be subject to destructive modification or not.
This allows User objects to be reused across multiple unit tests.

Providing the perfectly correct number of pages
that have acctually been added to or removed from a
category is extermly hard.
Rather than providing data that is most likely wrong
and a bit useless ONLY provide a link to Special:WhatLinksHere.
This touches on the following bugs and may mean that
some of them don't need to be thought about any further.

This reduces the runtime of database-bound tests by about 40%
(on my system, from 4:55 to 2:47; results from Jenkins are
inconclusive).
The basic idea is to call addCoreDBData() only once, and have
a addDBDataOnce() that is called once per test class, not for
every test method lie addDBData() is. Most tests could be
trivially be changed to implement addDBDataOnce() instead of
addDBData(). The ones for which this did not work immediately
were left out for now. A closer look at the tests that still
implement addDBData() may reveal additional potential for
improvement.
TODO: Once this is merged, try to change addDBData() to
addDBDataOnce() where possible in extensions.
