MediaWiki core change I04b1a384 added support for i18n of API module
help. This takes advantage of that while still maintaining backwards
compatibility with earlier versions of MediaWiki.
Once support for MediaWiki before 1.25 is dropped, the methods marked
deprecated in this patch may be removed.

Core change I2793a3f2 changes API handling in a way that needs updates
to extensions for proper operation:
* needsToken() now returns a string
* Most custom token types are being replaced with a 'csrf' token (the
former 'edit' token); any others need a new hook.
* All tokens must use a static salt. Compat with web UI using non-static
tokens is supported and also serves to handle the now-deprecated token
fetching.
* Documentation in getParamDescription() should return a string (not
array) for 'token', as the signal to core that it should be replaced
with a standardized message.
When compatibility with earlier versions of MediaWiki is no longer
maintained, the entry for 'token' from getAllowedParams() and
getParamDescription() may be removed, as may getTokenSalt(). This patch
leaves them in place.
Note this is intended to be compatible with earlier versions of
MediaWiki, and so should be safe to merge before the core change.
