The 'AbuseFilter-filterAction' hook is deprecated in favour of a new
'AbuseFilterAlterVariables' hook, which provides a User object and has a better name, since it reflects what it should be used for, and doesn't include the name of a function which will be removed. The hook will be hard deprecated in a subsequent patch, to avoid test failures.

These hooks can be called either when filtering the current action, or
to check an action from recentchanges. While AbuseFilter already handles
well these two cases, other extensions don't and need some context.
Depends on the patch below because we're changing generateTitleVars,
which already has a temporary extra parameter that I don't want to mess
up with.
Also follow-up I72933fcc9952fc1aabf6464b2fc0b04ec39c024b for a few
remaining uppercase vars.

This is for adding variables which can be computed even without an
ongoing action. Currently, we don't have any, except for timestamp (but
that's a bit special). Other extensions could. For instance, we'll be
able to expose the content of the spam blacklist.

Variables regarding title (full list in task description) are quite
deceiving, since they use "text" instead of "title". As proposed in the
task, this is the first patch to add aliases for those variables and
slightly deprecate the old ones. In the future we may be able to replace
every occurrence (either with a search function or directly on the
database), but even a coexistence would be enough to avoid
confusion. A wfDebug log is generated whenever a deprecated variable is
parsed. The "article_" prefix is also changed to "title_", in the same
way as above.
Also, added a hook which other extension may use to specify their
deprecated variables, which will be handled the same as core ones.

This makes AbuseFilter use EditFilterMergedContent if support for
the ContentHandler infrastructure is present. This means living
without some nice bits of context, because EditFilterMergedContent
doesn't provide an EditPage object.
This requires core change I99a19c93 to work correctly.

Added two hooks to the AbuseFilter, one that allows altering of the
variables created for a specific user and one for title specific
variables. This a much cleaner way to add title or user specific
variables than using the current general-purpose hooks.
