+ expiration time is kept at 180 days.

determines whether to set a cookie when a user is autoblocked. Doing so means
that a blocked user, even after logging out and moving to a new IP address,
code for ApiBase::parseMsg() will no longer work.
* ApiBase::$messageMap is no longer public. Code attempting to access it will
result in a PHP fatal error.
-* $wgUserEmailUseReplyTo is now true by default to work around restrictive DMARC policies.
