This solves two issues described in bug T360909:
* Usage of unsafe characters that have to be
manually reviewed in translations.
* Incorect display of some functions and
operators in RTL UI languages.
It also reduces the translators' need to copy
those operators and functions, which are always
identical to English.
Finally, this patch adds those consistently to all
the messages. Some messages didn't mention them
for an unspecified reason, and now they are mentioned
everywhere.

Make the order of the messages that describe
operators and functions in the en.json file
identical to their order in
KeywordManager::BUILDER_VALUES, which is also
their order in the actual UI of the filter editor.
This only reorders the mesages in the en.json file.
It's not supposed to change anything in
the end users' experience, but it will change
the order in which translators on translatewiki.net
see them.
This is a cleanup step towards removing
the explicit operators from the messages,
as suggested in T360909, and this reordering
is hopefully useful even without that change,
for general consistency.
Comments about particular messages:
* abusefilter-edit-builder-vars-timestamp-expanded
is moved to the very end because, despite its key,
it's not actually used in the filter builder.
* old-text, old-html, and minor-edit are moved towards
the end because they are outdated. They are listed
separately from BUILDER_VALUES and they are not used
in the filter builder UI, but they are used in the logs
of previous actions. This patch adds a code comment
for the benefit of developers who touch that code
in the future.

Why:
* An AbuseFilter variable is needed that allows filters to determine
what type the current user is. That is, whether the user is an
IP address, temporary account, named user or external user.
* Currently filters implement this by inspecting the value in
the 'user_name' variable, but this is likely to break when
temporary accounts are enabled as IPs would be hidden.
* Giving a dedicated variable that indicates the type of the user
allows filters to work out this information without having to
know the specific username of the user before performing the
check.
What:
* Add the 'user_type' variable which is lazily computed. It can have
the value 'named', 'temp', 'ip' or 'external' depending on the
type of the user. If the user does not match any of these, then
the value is 'unknown'.
* Replace call to deprecated User::newFromIdentity with a use of the
UserFactory service that is dependency injected.
* Add and update tests to ensure consistent test coverage.
