This merges the content of the LinksUpdateConstructed hook callback
into the LinksUpdate hook callback since it's fine to defer saving
to the cache.

This stores references in page_props during links update in
compressed JSON form. If the size is too big, it's broken up
in several parts to fit, which is very unlikely to occur more
than once.
When the data is retrieved from the db, it's always cached. If
set in config, it's also saved in the cache on parse. If not,
the cache is invalidated when references are modified.
Uses cases include : section preview to also show refs defined
elsewhere on the page (T124840) and MobileFrontend (T123328).
For the later, this still needs API support (T123290).
There's a soft dependency on the core change

This code has been developed over three years now in the repo of MediaWiki's
integration of VisualEditor. It has grown and developed significantly during
that time, but now is pretty stable. A number of hacks inside the MediaWiki-
VisualEditor code base have been used to prevent this code from being loaded
on wikis where the Cite extension is not deployed, but this state of affairs
is and always was meant to be temporary.
This code is under the MIT licence which is a tad messy, but not impossible.
It's clearly labelled as such. The list of authors has been updated to take
into account the influx of new functionality.
