bug#18687: mw: modular MediaWiki interface for Emacs

[Ivan Shmakov]

        Some of the changes to the code are now went public [1, 2].
        (Note the s/2014/2015/ year change in the URIs.)

[2] https://am-1.org/~ivan/archives/git/gitweb.cgi?p=mw-el-2015.git

        There, I’ve decided to rewind ‘master’ by three revisions (back
        to 05d33edc); then put one of them (with the commit message
        edited for better correctness), as well as 4 revisions formerly
        of ‘fixes-x54a46898’ (see [3]), and 8 more fresh ones, to the
        new ‘exp-x54e65706’ branch.

        One of the changes (17ebb542) introduces the “top-level” mw.el
        file, which provides a ‘defgroup’, and is required by GNU ELPA.
        I hope someone could review if I’ve done this part correctly.

        This still leaves some code I’d like to add before pushing the
        Git history to GNU ELPA, but I feel I’m roughly halfway of what
        I’ve planned for 0.2.

        A summary of the changes is as follows.

 2fd573e0 New ‘mw-info-princ-alist’ and ‘mw-info-princ-voa’ functions.

            The latter generalizes the former ‘vc-mw-print-revisions’.

 6d740471 New ‘vc-mw-revision-query-alist’ customizable variable.

            This one allows for an empty “continuation cookie” to be
            added to all the vc-mw.el queries in order to silence a
            warning emitted by newer MediaWiki versions.  Also, it
            allows for the set of entries shown by vc-print-log to be
            customized, – to the extent supported by the remote
            MediaWiki instance.

 76b50f8c Fixed token logic in ‘vc-mw-buffer-page-info’ and
          ‘vc-mw-find-revision’.

            Now the tokens will be correctly requested whenever the
            remote is queried, /except/ for the log (IOW,
            ‘vc-mw-print-log’.)

 b3a39473 New ‘mw-xapi-adjoin-token-request’ function.

 bf8a70ce Promote several variables to customizable status.

            Namely: ‘mw-api-response-hook’ (which is also marked for
            autoloading, as a hook variable with a non-nil default
            value), ‘mw-buffer-associate-page-hook’,
            ‘mw-buffer-endpoint-safe-hook’,
            ‘mw-buffer-try-file-name-hook’.

 215e4a07 Split token handling into new mw-xapi.el off mw-api.el.

            Which means that ‘mw-xapi-token’ is the new name for
            ‘mw-api-token’.  Also introduces ‘mw-api-response-hook’.

 21f8d096 Bump the version to 0.2 and update copyright years.

            This does /not/ include mw.el, as updating that would
            (I presume) trigger a release on GNU ELPA.

 17ebb542 New mw.el replaces mw-pkg.el, anticipating the forthcoming
          GNU ELPA inclusion.

            Also introduces ‘mw-buffer’, ‘mw-api’, and the package’s
            top-level ‘mw’ customization groups.
