This seems strange, because markseen sounds like a write action, but it
writes to the seentime cache rather than the database. For multi-DC
support, we need writes to the seentime cache to happen in the local
data center, and the easiest way to do that is to make it a GET request
rather than a POST request.
It would be nice if marking as seen could be consolidated into the GET
request for fetching notifications, but I didn't do that because the
code for those fetches is pretty complicated, and some fetches (like
polling) should not mark as seen.

There are about 200 of such generic "array" type hints in this code base,
the majority in @param tags. I started with what I found most relevant:
@var and @return tags. I might continue working on this later, but
wanted to stop for now to keep this patch moderately small.

See Iae0e2ce3. Since Echo master requires core master, this just depends
on the master patch instead of trying to maintain BC.

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').

* These tend to log errors many times in a row for the same few
users in any given time period. There is probably some usage
pattern issue in JS on top of the abuse of preferences for
such tracking state. In any case, this should help.
