Description

Sometimes meaningless <nowiki> tags appear in edited pages - they have no actual content, and only some formatting. For example, you can see a useless '''''<nowiki/>''''' in this edit.

Such <nowiki> tags should be auto-discarded whenever possible.

This is handled by https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/Normalizations#Strip_empty_headings_and_style_tags

For example,

> echo "<i><b></b></i>" | node bin/parse --html2wt
'''''<nowiki/>'''''

> echo "<i><b></b></i>" | node bin/parse --html2wt --scrubWikitext
