Convert wikiversions from CDB to static array file
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

As previously discussed in T99740, PHP files containing static array definitions are translated to bytecode by HHVM and cached in its bytecode cache, and are thus faster to read than CDB files. We should exploit this by switching the representation of the wikiversions mapping from CDB to PHP.

@20after4: This is done now, and the relevant changes have all been synced. Just an FYI that the operative file is now wikiversions.php, not wikiversions.cdb. All the tools work as before.
