Tim Starling 504fe2af11 Respect configured default HTTP timeouts, and introduce max timeouts
* Add HttpRequestFactory::createMultiClient(), which returns a
  MultiHttpClient with configured defaults applied. This is similar to
  the recently-deprecated Http::createMultiClient().
* Introduce $wgHTTPMaxTimeout and $wgHTTPMaxConnectTimeout which, if set
  to a lower value than their defaults of infinity, will limit the
  applied HTTP timeouts, whether configured or passed on a per-request
  basis. This is based on the frequently correct assumption that ops know
  more about timeouts than developers.
* In case developers believe, after becoming aware of this new situation,
  that they actually do know more about timeouts than ops, it is possible
  to override the configured maximum by passing similarly named options
  to HttpRequestFactory::createMultiClient() and
  HttpRequestFactory::create().
* Apply modern standards to HttpRequestFactory by injecting a logger and
  all configuration parameters used by its backends.
* As in Http, the new createMultiClient() will use a MediaWiki/1.35
  User-Agent and the 'http' channel for logging.
* Document that no proxy will be used for createMultiClient().
  Proxy config is weird and was previously a good reason to use
  MultiHttpClient over HttpRequestFactory.
* Deprecate direct construction of MWHttpRequest without a timeout
  parameter
