git-remote-mediawiki: more efficient 'pull' in the best case

The only way to fetch new revisions from a wiki before this patch was to
query each page for new revisions. This is good when tracking a small set
of pages on a large wiki, but very inefficient when tracking many pages
on a wiki with little activity.

Implement a new strategy that queries the wiki for its last global
revision, queries each new revision, and filter out pages that are not
tracked.

# Known limitations:
#
# - Poor performance in the best case: it takes forever to check
# whether we're up-to-date (on fetch or push) or to fetch a few
# revisions from a large wiki, because we use exclusively a
# page-based synchronization. We could switch to a wiki-wide
# synchronization when the synchronization involves few revisions
# but the wiki is large.
# - Several strategies are provided to fetch modifications from the
# wiki, but no automatic heuristics is provided, the user has
# to understand and chose which strategy is appropriate for him.
#
# - Git renames could be turned into MediaWiki renames (see TODO
# below)
