The new Scribunto_LuaTitleLibrary::redirectTarget() method is
used by mw.title objects as read-only attribute 'redirectTarget'.
If the page does not exist or it is not a redirect, the value
of the attribute is `false`; otherwise, it is the target of the
redirect page, as mw.title object.
This is a proper alternative to parsing wikitext as it is done in:

Currently, mw.title.new always results in a database query, which holds up
the parse until it finishes. This changes it to not require a database
query if it's not actually necessary.

Add a way to fetch cascading protection information from Lua without
needing to call the CASCADINGSOURCES parser function.

Include a protectionLevels variable in the output of the mw.title.*
functions, containing the contents of the title's mRestrictions
array (i.e., its protection levels)

Specifically:
* String conversion in non-URL contexts (e.g. .prefixedText) uses spaces
instead of underscores.
* Setting .fragment now applies the same transformations that are done
(in PHP) by mw.title.new.

Users are reporting disappointment that using pairs on title objects
doesn't let them see the fields available. It's easy enough to add a
__pairs metamethod to allow pairs to work on title objects, so let's do
that.
The same can be done for mw.uri objects.
For mw.message objects, we can easily enough change the implementation
to be like mw.language objects, which doesn't have this problem.
For mw.site.stats, we may as well just remove the load-on-demand feature
since it will be demanded as soon as the environment is cloned for the
first module.

People sometimes want to know if the actual file exists, not just the
file description page. Support that.
Also alias .exists to .fileExists for the Media namespace, since that's
what the Media namespace is for.
And while we're at it, fix .exists for special pages too.

Note that fetching any title besides the one for the current page is
considered "expensive". It also records the title fetched in the
ParserOutput so it will be listed in pagelinks, just like #ifexists.
This also moves the ToString test formatter into TestFramework.lua, so
TitleLibraryTests.lua can use it too.
