Thiemo Kreuz 06c1a5976c maintenance: Deprecate Maintenance::hasArg/getArg with no param
Benefit of keeping the parameter optional:
- In maintenance scripts that really only have one parameter, it's a
  little more convenient to be able to ask for *the* parameter via an
  empty getArg().

Disadvantages:
- It's unclear what getArg() means when there is no indication *which*
  argument the code asks for. This might as well return the last
  argument, or an array of all arguments.
- In scripts with two or more arguments, it's confusing to see
  getArg( 1 ) next to an empty getArg().
- The methods are more complex and a bit more complicated to use with
  the extra feature of this parameter being optional. Users need to
  look up what the default is to be able to use it safely.
