Description

I have a idea. At present people are assigning permissions to a user group, like:

$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['interwiki'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['flow-create-board'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['bigdelete'] = true;

If we write a help function to help assign rights, like:

$rights = ['interwiki', 'bigdelete', 'flow-create-board'];
wfNewFun( 'sysop', $rights );

This can improve the readability of LocalSettings.php and reduce the cost of maintenance.

I think this is really a good idea and I have been thinking of how to reduce the amount of these permission assignment lines. Not sure if there's downside though. Adding core team for review
