The hook 'AbuseFilter-interceptVariable' can be used
for intercepting any request to recalculate a variable,
and if a handler is returning false the later code
will be skipped. That makes it possible to avoid using
content if the content model is wrong, as it could be
for a Wikibase entity.
The hook uses the same arguments as the hook
'AbuseFilter-computeVariable', thereby making it simple
to move handlers around.
The arguments to the hook are
@param string $method
@param AbuseFilterVariableHolder $vars
@param array $parameters
@param AFPData|array|int|mixed|null|string &$result
Patchset 2: Fix for arg 1 to the hook, it got $this
instead of $this->mMethod

Instead pass the Article object from the EditFilterMerged hook to the AFComputedVariable object and see whether the object is present to do a parse operation since other code paths won't pass an Article object
Also simplified the fallback code in AFComputedVariable::compute() to simply continue instead of calling the function again.
ATTENTION! This may break filters that rely on "added_lines contains 'bla-bla'" syntax. They'll need to be replaced with "string(added_lines) contains 'bla-bla'"
