Tim Starling b4849e03b7 Use the unserialized form of image metadata internally
Image metadata is usually a serialized string representing an array.
Passing the string around internally and having everything unserialize
it is an awkward convention.

Also, many image handlers were reading the file twice: once for
getMetadata() and again for getImageSize(). Often getMetadata()
would actually read the width and height and then throw it away.

So, in filerepo:

* Add File::getMetadataItem(), which promises to allow partial
  loading of metadata per my proposal on T275268 in a future commit.
* Add File::getMetadataArray(), which returns the unserialized array.
  Some file handlers were returning non-serializable strings from
  getMetadata(), so I gave them a legacy array form ['_error' => ...]
* Changed MWFileProps to return the array form of metadata.
* Deprecate the weird File::getImageSize(). It was apparently not
  called by anything, but was overridden by UnregisteredLocalFile.
* Wrap serialize/unserialize with File::getMetadataForDb() and
  File::loadMetadataFromDb() in preparation for T275268.

In MediaHandler:

* Merged MediaHandler::getImageSize() and MediaHandler::getMetadata()
  into getSizeAndMetadata(). Deprecated the old methods.
* Instead of isMetadataValid() we now have isFileMetadataValid(), which
  only gets a File object, so it can decide what data it needs to load.
* Simplified getPageDimensions() by having it return false for non-paged
  media. It was not called in that case, but was implemented anyway.

In specific handlers:

* Rename DjVuHandler::getUnserializedMetadata() and
  extractTreesFromMetadata() for clarity. "Metadata" in these function
  names meant an XML string.
* Updated DjVuImage::getImageSize() to provide image sizes in the new
  style.
* In ExifBitmapHandler, getRotationForExif() now takes just the
  Orientation tag, rather than a serialized string. Also renamed for
  clarity.
* In GIFMetadataExtractor, return the width, height and bits per channel
  instead of throwing them away. There was some conflation in
  decodeBPP() which I picked apart. Refer to GIF89a section 18.
* In JpegMetadataExtractor, process the SOF0/SOF2 segment to extract
  bits per channel, width, height and components (channel count). This
  is essentially a port of PHP's getimagesize(), so should be bugwards
  compatible.
* In PNGMetadataExtractor, return the width and height, which were
  previously assigned to unused local variables. I verified the
  implementation by referring to the specification.
* In SvgHandler, retain the version validation from unpackMetadata(),
  but rename the function since it now takes an array as input.

In tests:

* In ExifBitmapTest, refactored some tests by using a provider.
* In GIFHandlerTest and PNGHandlerTest, I removed the tests in which
  getMetadata() returns null, since it doesn't make sense when ported to
  getMetadataArray(). I added tests for empty arrays instead.
* In tests, I retained serialization of input data since I figure it's
  useful to confirm that existing database rows will continue to be read
  correctly. I removed serialization of expected values, replacing them
  with plain data.
* In tests, I replaced access to private class constants like
  BROKEN_FILE with string literals, since stability is essential. If
  the class constant changes, the test should fail.

Elsewhere:

* In maintenance/refreshImageMetadata.php, I removed the check for
  shrinking image metadata, since it's not easy to implement and is
  not future compatible. Image metadata is expected to shrink in
  future.

The classes in this directory are general utilities for use by any part of
MediaWiki. They do not favour any particular user interface and are not
constrained to serve any particular feature. This is similar to includes/libs,
except that some dependency on the MediaWiki framework (such as the use of
MWException, Status or wfDebug()) disqualifies them from use outside of
MediaWiki without modification.

Utilities should not use global configuration variables, rather they should rely
on the caller to configure their behaviour.
