These changes ensure that DiscussionTools is independent of DOM
library choice, and will not break if/when Parsoid switches to an
alternate (more standards-compliant) DOM library.
We run `phan` against the Dodo standards-compliant DOM library,
so this ends up flagging uses of non-standard PHP extensions to
the DOM. These will be suppressed for now with a "Nonstandard DOM"
comment that can be grepped for, since they will eventually
will need to be rewritten or worked around.
Most frequent issues:
* Node::nodeValue and Node::textContent and Element::getAttribute()
can return null in a spec-compliant implementation. Add `?? ''` to
make spec-compliant results consistent w/ what PHP returns.
* DOMXPath doesn't accept anything except DOMDocument. These uses
should be replaced with DOMCompat::querySelectorAll() or similar
(which end up using DOMXPath under the covers for DOMDocument any way,
but are implemented more efficiently in a spec-compliant
implementation).
* A couple of times we have code like:
`while ($node->firstChild!==null) { $node = $node->firstChild; }`
and phan's analysis isn't strong enough to determine that $node is still
non-null after the while. This same issue should appear with DOMDocument
but phan doesn't complain for some reason.
One apparently legit issue:
* Node::insertBefore() is once called in a funny way which leans on
the fact that the second option is optional in PHP. This seems to be
a workaround for an ancient PHP bug, and can probably be safely
removed.

We can do this because the tested methods do not depend on any globals
or on MediaWiki being installed.
In addition to being the new hotness, MediaWikiUnitTestCase allows the
test classes that use it instead of MediaWikiTestCase to start up much
faster. In my testing, running this test case individually now takes
0.35s, compared to 1.1s before.
Try:
* With new code:
time php tests/phpunit/phpunit.php extensions/DiscussionTools/tests/phpunit/unit/CommentUtilsTest.php
* With old code:
time php tests/phpunit/phpunit.php extensions/DiscussionTools/tests/phpunit/CommentUtilsTest.php
