Objects can be different instances (and for User, they can contain
very different data) in which case they wouldn't be recognized even
if they were the same user.
Let's find by ID instead.

Right now, if certain users should be excluded, that would have
to be part of the user-locators already. This is annoying because
it's hard to write "generic" user locators when you want to exclude
just a couple of people in certain cases.
In Flow, for example, we have user-locators for users watching a
board or topic. We don't want to send the notification to people
that have also been mentioned in that post (they'll get a separate
notification). We could build that exception into those
user-locators, but then we couldn't re-use them in other places...
This basically means we couldn't use EchoUserLocator::locateUsersWatchingTitle,
we would have to roll our own that also excludes mentioned users.
Instead, this lets you add 'user-filters' (that functionality
actually exists already, but is not currently exposed), which
lists users to not send the notification to, even though they could
be in a user-locator.

Adds EchoEventPresentationModel::canRender() for notification types to
indicate that something can't be rendered if for example, a page is
deleted.
In that case, the notification is marked as read in a deferred update.
All callers were also updated to check if the notification was formatted
properly.

Push the $wgEchoNotifications dependency to
NotificationFormatter::factory(), and only catch exceptions we're
actually expecting (NotificationFormatter::format()).
And clean up the logging to use structured logging while we're at it.
