Original image info is now a first-class output property, and the
'original' property of the 'thumbnail' object has been deprecated since
December 2016 (with an API warning provided since then when original image
info is requested). It should be safe to remove at this point.
(N.B. The 'original' property was an undocumented piprop before the format
update, and the legacy output likely sees little if any usage.)

It's useful for API consumers to have the dimensions of the original
image so that they know the bounds within which they can safely rewrite
the thumb URL (bearing in mind the prerendered widths[1], in the case of
WMF wiki consumers).
This change adds an 'original' property to the page object, containing
the original image source URL along with its width and height, when
original image info is requested.
A warning is added when original image info is requested, noting the
format change and warning the consumer that the original image URL will
no longer be provided within the 'thumbnail' property in a future release.

The API accepts a new query parameter `license`, whose
value can either be `free` or `any`. `free` is the default value.
When the value of `licence` is:
* `free`, then only the best image whose copyright allows
reusing it will be returned;
* `any`, then the best image, regardless of its copyright
status, will be returned.

MediaWiki core change I04b1a384 added support for i18n of API module
help. This takes advantage of that while still maintaining backwards
compatibility with earlier versions of MediaWiki.
Once support for MediaWiki before 1.25 is dropped, the methods marked
deprecated in this patch may be removed.
