In general, the web UI does a check of the watchlist preferences along
the lines of "watch if watchdefault, or if watchcreations and the title
doesn't exist". So there's no way to have it watch edits but not
creations. Make the API behavior match this.
For API action=protect&watchlist=preferences, we want to use
'watchdefault' always to match the behavior of the web UI.
For Special:Upload, the code is all there to do a "watch if
watchdefault, or if watchcreations and the file doesn't exist". But for
some reason that code wasn't being used in favor of just using
watchcreations all the time. Fix that, too. And have the API use that
instead of checking if the file page exists.

Currently, WatchAction::doWatch and WatchAction::doUnwatch return true
always. Let's have them return a status object instead.
This also cleans up the handling of Status objects in some of the API
modules.

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.

action=block/action=unblock can not have the token required because when
using the gettoken param, the token param can not set.

Doxygen choke on text enclosed by '<' and '>' since it tries to
interpret them as HTML or XML elements. This patch adds double quotes
in includes/api/*.php files around the two following strings:
<Firstname>.<Lastname>@gmail.com
<Firstname><Lastname>@gmail.com
Which becomes:
"<Firstname>.<Lastname>@gmail.com"
"<Firstname><Lastname>@gmail.com"
Tested locally, it prevents doxygen 1.8.0 related warnings.

* Moving setting of empty string to param description.
* Removing word "(optional)" from comment/reason param, because all not
required params are optional.
* Correct description of action=rollback for default comment.

Added information about the properties of the results of API calls
to action=paraminfo, including information about "property groups":
what should the prop parameter be set to to get that property.
Uses the same format for types as parameters already do.
The output format of some modules doesn't fit this, so the result
properties for them weren't added, or only partially.
Partially implemented modules:
* expandtemplates:
parsetree is in its own tag
* protect, allusers, backlinks, deletedrevs, info, imageinfo,
logevents, querypage, recentchanges, revisions, searchinfo,
usercontribs, userinfo, users, watchlist, upload:
response with partially complex structure
Not implemented modules:
* feedcontributions, feedwatchlist, opensearch, rds:
non-standard reponse
* help:
error is normal response; not very useful for automated tools anyway
* paraminfo, parse, pageprops, siteinfo, userrights:
response with complex structure

I know there's no second parameter to WikiPage::newFromID(), but this will change soon.

Move the possibles errors set by ApiBase::getTitleOrPageId to
ApiBase::getTitleOrPageIdErrorMessages and remove it from used modules

* Use WikiPage::newFromID() directly instead of Title::newFromID() (change pending review to improve it)
* Directly load the data from the master when creating a page from its name, it avoids a second database query when calling $this->getLatest() in WikiPage::doUpdateRestrictions()
Change-Id: I993d087961c0ef41a2e3f8d949922d3d30ca1fde
* Removed permissions check from WikiPage::doUpdateRestrictions() and left it for callers, resolves the todo from documentation
* Inverted $expiry and $reason parameter between WikiPage::doUpdateRestrictions() and WikiPage::updateRestrictions() for more consistency; WikiPage::doUpdateRestrictions() also requires all parameters to be passed
* WikiPage::doUpdateRestrictions() returns a Status object instead of bool for the older one; only possible error at the moment is a read-only database
* Updated core calls to these functions
* Made maintenance scripts using it simply protect all actions returned by Title::getRestrictionTypes() instead of hardcoded 'edit' and 'move'
* This also means that protect.php can be used to protect a non-existing page for creation
It's a parctice that dates back to 2006 when the API was first written, and frankly isn't covered by the coding conventions. Same thing with the docblocks, they're all copypasted with some bits changed and don't even make sense if you look at them in the genereated code docs.
I don't feel that any of us depend on this anymore (get a better IDE), so in the inerest of consistancy it's time we said goodbye to it.
