TitleValue is intended to be a light weight alternative to the Title
class. Any operations on TitleValue are implemented in separate
service classes, like TitleFormatter and PageLinkRenderer. See
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/TitleValue>
for more information.
This change updates SpecialCategories and SpecialLinkSearch to use
TitleValue instead of Title, to demonstrate how TitleValue would be
used, and how the necessary services can be injected and applied.
The intention is to improve testability and reusability; these
advantages will however only become apparent with further refactoring
of the respective special pages. This will be done in follow-up
changes.
More work will be needed to migrate essential functionality from
Title and Linker classes into the respective service classes,
MediaWikiTitleCodec and MediaWikiPageLinkRenderer.
