This changes the previous behaviour of fetching always up to
500 most recent revisions.
Now the extensions fetches N revisions including the newer
revision selected to diff as the most recent revision.
N is number of revisions that would fit in the current
window when rendered as bars.
When user is close to either "end" of the slider, extensions
fetches another batch of up to N older or newer revisions,
as long as user does not reach the oldest or the newest
revision of the page.
Among others, this removes the limitations of the previous
approach: showing only 500 revisions, and failing to show
anything when any of selected revisions was older than
500 recent revisions.
This change also simplifies usage of Api class.

After fetching a batch of revision data, user names are extracted
and another API query is made to get gender preferences for users.
This change also moves a code responsible for MediaWiki API calls
to its own class.

MediaWiki uses the momentJS module to display standard timestamps;
this means you can avoid calculating the user offset, but also, it
means that all timestamps are internationalized and translated, and
use the standard view that MW uses in its interfaces.
We can store the user's offset in a RevisionSlider variable so we can
refer to it in timestamp construction, as well as manipulate it in
tests without touching any global user options that may affect other
tests.

If the user has a time offset that will be used.
If the user uses the default then the offset is
still retrieved from mw.user.options.values.timecorrection
If the user is anon then mw.config.values.extRevisionSliderTimeOffset
is used which is added as a JS var by the Hook

The first revision was previously not included because revision size was
calculated by subtracting the size in bytes of a revision from the size
of the previous revision which lead to a problem with the first
revision. The first revision's relative size is now equal to its actual
size.
