csteipp 01c8c421f8 Password Expiration
Add functionality to expire users' passwords:
 * Adds column to the user table to keep a password expiration
 * Adds $wgPasswordExpirationDays, which will force users to reset
   their passwords after a set number of days. By default, this set
   to false, so passwords never expire.
 * Adds a default grace period of 7 days, where if the user's password
   is expired, they can still login, but are encouraged to reset their
   password.
 * Adds hook 'LoginPasswordResetMessage' to update reset message, in
   case an extension wants to vary the message on a particular reset
   event.
 * Adds hook 'ResetPasswordExpiration' to allow extensions to change
   the expiration date when the user resets their password. E.g., if
   an extension wants to vary the expiration based on the user's group.

If the user is in the grace period, they get a password reset form
added to the login successful page. If an extension prevents showing
the login successful page (like CentralAuth), it should be updated to
show a password change form during the grace period. After the grace
period, the user will not be able to login without changing their
password.

Also prevents a successful reset if the user is "changing" their
password to their existing password.

No passwords will expire by default. Sites will have to call
User->expirePassword() from their own maintenance script to trigger a
password reset for a user.
