Only create a Cite object if we need one. Never clearState, just
destroy and recreate later.
This makes it less likely that we leak state between parsers, and
saves memory and processing on pages without references.
It's also preparation to decouple Cite logic from state.

I was able to track this code down to I093d85d from 2012, which was done
right after the ParserAfterParse hook was introduced. I believe the
redundant code path was left to keep the Cite extension compatible with
old MediaWiki versions that did not had this hook yet.
I also noticed this code path is most probably entirely redundant with
the current version of MediaWiki. The *only* thing this code does is
blocking the ParserBeforeTidy hook from doing the same thing a second
time if the ParserAfterParse hook was called before. But it does *not*
block any other compination, e.g. if the two hooks are called the other
way around, or the same hook twice.
In core, it looks like it is impossible for the ParserBeforeTidy hook
being fired without the ParserAfterParse hook being fired before. If this
is true, this is in fact dead code.

This patch does two things:
* Add strict PHP 7 type hints to most code.
* Narrow the interface of the checkRefsNoReferences() method to not
require a ParserOptions object any more.

This patch does intentionally not touch any file name. Some of the
file names are a little weird now, e.g. \Cite\Cite. These can more
easily be renamed in later patches.
I used https://codesearch.wmflabs.org/search/?q=new%20Cite%5C( and it
looks like this code is not used anywhere else.

Note this codebase appears to be dual-licensed. Some files mention MIT,
but extension.json and some other files mention GPL.
Since WMDE typically uses GPL, I will continue to mark the files we
created as such.

To be honest I don't get why this lazy registration was done in the
first place. None of the 4 other hooks should ever be called before
the ParserFirstCallInit hook got called.
Also, under which circumstances can the ParserFirstCallInit hook be
called more than once?
Both scenarios would be wrong, as far as I'm concerned. Either I'm
missing something, or this code can indeed be simplified. Maybe it was
something to make it more compatible with older MediaWiki versions?
The only reason I can think of is: in all situations that do not
involve a parser, having the 4 extra hooks registered is pointless.
Does this waste space and/or runtime in the $wgHooks registry?
