Brad Jorsch 1d79bd6036 API: Handle exceptions from ApiBeforeMain hook in a user-friendly manner
The immediate impetus behind this change is this series of events:

1. CirrusSearch hooks ApiBeforeMain to handle some setup that requires
   the User object.
2. So User is loaded from the session.
3. OAuth checks the headers as part of loading User.
4. OAuth sees that the headers are invalid, and since it was called from
   the API it throws a UsageException, expecting the API to catch it and
   return an appropriate response to the client.
5. But nothing does so, leading to an unhelpful "Internal Error" page
   being returned to the client.

We can do better than that.

/**
* This file is the entry point for all API queries.
*
* It begins by checking whether the API is enabled on this wiki; if not,
* it informs the user that s/he should set $wgEnableAPI to true and exits.
* Otherwise, it constructs a new ApiMain using the parameter passed to it
* as an argument in the URL ('?action=') and with write-enabled set to the
* value of $wgEnableWriteAPI as specified in LocalSettings.php.
* It then invokes "execute()" on the ApiMain object instance, which
* produces output in the format specified in the URL.
