Why:
* On wikis with lots of bot activity like Wikidata, there is a large
volume of edits which can potentially create an article-linked
notification. These notifications are now actually rarely sent
because they are disabled for bots (T318523). However, the event
record is always inserted into the database, with no reference to
it, bloating the database.
What:
* Do not unconditionally insert an event into the database when
Event::create is called. Pass it to downstream calls and have
it inserted when it's clear it will actually be needed (i.e.,
a notification is definitely going to be created).
* Pass the event's payload to the job queue instead of requiring
its ID. Introduce Event::newFromArray, which unlike ::loadFromRow
handles ::toDbArray values that haven't been inserted into
the database yet.
* Introduce Event::acquireId which ensures the event has been
inserted prior to returning its ID as well as it does not get
re-inserted.

Singletons are bad, amongst other reasons, because they're never reset
in tests. They can therefore occasionally cause test failures if the
cached data stored in one of these singletons becomes stale.
As noted on the task, ideally these two classes shouldn't exist at all,
and core should be responsible for caching the information it deems
expensive to compute.
As a temporary (TM) workaround, make both classes actual services, so
that the setUp/tearDown logic in MediaWikiIntegrationTestCase can
properly reset them between tests.
Dependencies are intentionally not being injected, precisely because
these classes should just be deleted, not improved.

Most notably, CatchableFatalErrorException and the code that throws it
are unused since Ic5712c4ce265b6faabce7a4028b4294fe3c73f18 (in 2016).
