The SpecialPage class needs the PermissionManager service on every instance for permissions check.
The first idea is to set it from the factory on the created object, but PermissionManager needs the SpecialPageFactory itself and that results in a circular dependency.
No idea how to resolve it.

[mediawiki/core@master] Inject PermissionManager into abstract SpecialPage class
Change 643573 abandoned by Umherirrender:
[mediawiki/core@master] Inject PermissionManager into abstract SpecialPage class
Reason:
May be needs another way to handle the injection and the way to provide the injected permission manager to all user of this special page.
Keep that open for another developer
May be not longer needed with the concept of Authority which may be could be used in special pages
