MediaWiki's PHPCS plugin requires documentation comments on all
methods, unless those methods are fully typed (all parameters and
return value).
It turns out that almost all of our methods are fully typed already.
Procedure:
1. Find: \*(\s*\*\s*(@param \??[\w\\]+(\|null)? &?\$\w+|@return \??[\w\\]+(\|null)?)\n)+\s*\*/
Replace with: */
This deletes type annotations, except those not representable
as PHP type hints such as union types `a|b` or typed arrays `a[]`,
or those with documentation beyond type hints, or those on
functions with any other annotations.
2. Find: /\*\*/\n\s*
Replace with nothing
This deletes the remaining comments on methods that had no prose
documentation.
3. Undo all changes that PHPCS complains about (those comments
were not redundant)
4. Review the diff carefully, these regexps are imprecise :)

Goal:
-----
To have a method like CommentParser::parse(), which just takes a node
to parse and a title and returns plain data, so that we don't need to
keep track of the config to construct a CommentParser object (the
required config like content language is provided by services) and
we don't need to keep that object around after parsing.
Changes:
--------
CommentParser.php:
* …is now a service. Constructor only takes services as arguments.
The node and title are passed to a new parse() method.
* parse() should return plain data, but I split this part to a separate
patch for ease of review: I49bfe019aa460651447fd383f73eafa9d7180a92.
* CommentParser still cheats and accesses global state in a few places,
e.g. calling Title::makeTitleSafe or CommentUtils::getTitleFromUrl,
so we can't turn its tests into true unit tests. This work is left
for future commits.
LanguageData.php:
* …is now a service, instead of a static class.
Parser.js:
* …is not a real service, but it's changed to behave in a similar way.
Constructor takes only the required config as argument,
and node and title are instead passed to a new parse() method.
CommentParserTest.php:
parser.test.js:
* Can be simplified, now that we don't need a useless node and title
to test internal methods that don't use them.
testUtils.js:
* Can be simplified, now that we don't need to override internal
ResourceLoader stuff just to change the parser config.
