Brad Jorsch ce79d607c7 libs/Message: Improve documentation
Among other things, this removed mention of MediaWiki classes from the
library and adds a README.md that attempts to define constraints for
interoperability between libraries producing MessageValues and formatter
implementations that are expected to handle them.

This also renames "TextParam" to "ScalarParam", as that seems a more
accurate name for the class.
