Daimona Eaytoy b0c5b97b28 Add a new method and hook for static variables
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.

This document describes how event hooks work in the AbuseFilter extension.
For a more comprehensive guide to hooks, navigate to your root MediaWiki
directory and read docs/hooks.txt.
== Events and parameters ==
This is a list of known events and parameters; please add to it if you're going
to add events to the AbuseFilter extension.
'AbuseFilter-builder': Allows overwriting of the builder values returned by AbuseFilter::getBuilderValues
&$realValues: Builder values
'AbuseFilter-deprecatedVariables': Allows adding deprecated variables. If a filter uses an old variable, the parser
will automatically translate it to the new one.
&$deprecatedVariables: array of deprecated variables, syntax: [ 'old_name' => 'new_name' ]
'AbuseFilter-computeVariable': Like AbuseFilter-interceptVariable but called if the requested method wasn't found.
Return true to indicate that the method is known to the hook and was computed successful.
$method: Method to generate the variable
$vars: AbuseFilterVariableHolder
$parameters: Parameters with data to compute the value
&$result: Result of the computation
'AbuseFilter-contentToString': Called when converting a Content object to a string to which
filters can be applied. If the hook function returns true, Content::getTextForSearchIndex()
will be used for non-text content.
$content: The Content object
&$text: Set this to the desired text.
'AbuseFilter-filterAction': Allows overwriting of abusefilter variables in AbuseFilter::filterAction just
before they're checked against filters. Note that you may specify custom variables in a saner way using other hooks:
AbuseFilter-generateTitleVars, AbuseFilter-generateUserVars and AbuseFilter-generateStaticVars.
$vars: AbuseFilterVariableHolder with variables
$title: Title object
'AbuseFilter-generateTitleVars': Allows altering the variables generated for a title
$vars: AbuseFilterVariableHolder
$title: Title object
$prefix: Variable name prefix
'AbuseFilter-generateUserVars': Allows altering the variables generated for a specific user
$vars: AbuseFilterVariableHolder
$user: User object
'AbuseFilter-generateStaticVars': Allows altering static variables, i.e. independent from page and user
$vars: AbuseFilterVariableHolder
'AbuseFilter-interceptVariable': Called before a variable is set in AFComputedVariable::compute to be able to set
it before the core code runs. Return false to make the function return right after.
$method: Method to generate the variable
$vars: AbuseFilterVariableHolder
$parameters: Parameters with data to compute the value
&$result: Result of the computation
