Currently we strongly abuse (pardon the pun) the AbuseFilter class: its
purpose should be to hold static functions intended as generic utility
functions (e.g. to format messages, determine whether a filter is global
etc.), but we actually use it for all methods related to running filters.
This patch creates a new class, AbuseFilterRunner, containing all such
methods, which have been made non-static. This leads to several
improvements (also for related methods and the parser), and opens the
way to further improve the code.
Aside from making the code prettier, less global and easier to test,
this patch could also produce a performance improvement, although I
don't have tools to measure that.
Also note that many public methods have been removed, and almost any of
them has been made protected; a couple of them (the ones used from outside)
are left for back-compat, and will be removed in the future.

Since double-equals are evil. I left some of them in place where I
wasn't sure, but I may be changed some which were intended to be
doubles. It could be a good idea to delay merging this patch until we'll
have more code coverage.

The uppercase is just a leftover from a long time ago. Currently,
variables are case-insensitive, and we already perform a strtolower when
saving them. Since most parts of the code already use lowercase, the
uppercase leftovers only make it harder to grep the code to find
variables. As a bonus, make Ace recognize variables in a
case-insensitive fashion.

This should fix every error with excluded rules, leaving only the one
for $wgTitle. A double check would be nice in order to avoid regressions
due to stupid mistakes.
