Instead of relying on the frontend to render, this enables the frontend
to do it.
The API will now accept a new format: 'model', which is basically the
presentation model's data in json format.
Some of the render code is currently only in the backend (e.g. get icon
path from icon type) so other api formats will stay available. At some
point, however, we may be able to kill those.

The workflow to format a notification is
* Get EchoEvent, User, and Language
* Get EchoEventFormatter implementation for notification type
** EchoEventFormatter returns structured data about each part of the
notification (header, body, primary link, secondary link(s))
* Each output type will have a formatter class (e.g.
EchoSpecialNotificationsFormatter, EchoPlainTextEmailFormatter) which
takes a EchoEventPresentationModel and generates whatever it wants
(HTML, plain-text email, etc).
Included is an example conversion of the user-rights and mention
formatters. The previous infrastructure will remain in place for
backwards compatability until other extensions can be updated.

So we're not abusing user preferences for the last seen time.
EchoSeenTime is a small wrapper around ObjectCache that handles the
fallback to user preferences during the transition.
All JavaScript code now needs to use mw.config.get('wgEchoSeenTime').

I tried to stick as close to the existing code as possible.
Special:Notifications is slightly different from the overlay,
however. I made it add .mw-echo-unread class for consistency,
but that JS doesn't record seen time (it only loads older
entries), not does the CSS fadeout apply there (it marks
everything as read as soon as it's displayed, so different
behavior from overlay)
PS: I'm not sure about browser compat for the fadeout. But
even if some obscure browsers don't support this, meh. It's
not an "important" feature that can't be missed.
