In T43172 it was told that adding the site name could increase the risk of
attracting more spam, but I don't see how this variable could cause that.

This code was introduced with Iba59fe8d190dd338ecc8cfd682205bce33c9738b
and is unused since then. The name should highlight that those variables are not
supposed to be "static", i.e. immutable. Examples are: timestamp, spam
blacklist, site name, site language. These are not immutable, but rather
"generic", and they're known even without an ongoing action.
Also add an RC row param and update docs.

This is another step needed to reduce the size of the gigantic
AbuseFilter and AbuseFilterHooks classes. It also makes many methods
non-static, for more testability.
Note, this layout is still not final. We should somehow merge the
functionality of VariableGenerator and AFComputedVariable, for which
I already have plans.

RunVariableGenerator is for generating variables based on the current
action;
RowVariableGenerator is for RC entries;
VariableGenerator is the generic one.
This patch only moves the methods to the new classes, to keep the diff
easier to read, and facilitate conflict resolution. These classes will
then be revamped in I366d598b69ad866496b7cb0059e0835c02e54041.
Note that these classes are now namespaced.
One method, AbuseFilter::getEditVars, was renamed to
AbuseFilterVariableGenerator::generateEditVars, because it would
otherwise conflict with an incompatible method in RunVariableGenerator.
