Action API changes

 * (T280806) The API methods for fetching tokens which were deprecated in MediaWiki 1.24 have been removed. action=query&meta=tokens&type= should be used instead. Please note some token types no longer exist, and you should just use type=csrf for those instead.
 * action=query&prop=info&intoken -> action=query&meta=tokens&type=csrf
 * action=tokens&type= -> action=query&meta=tokens&type=
 * action=query&list=recentchanges&rctoken -> action=query&meta=tokens&type=csrf
 * action=query&prop=revisions&rvtoken=rollback -> action=query&meta=tokens&type=rollback
 * action=query&meta=userinfo&uiprop=preferencestoken -> action=query&meta=tokens&type=csrf
 * action=query&list=users&ustoken=userrights -> action=query&meta=tokens&type=userrights
