REST API serving content of current revision for old revisions

Description

REST API is serving content of current revision for old revisions. This affects at least visual editor and visual diffs.

For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/The_Fighting_Temeraire/1123182247 is identical to https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/The_Fighting_Temeraire/1123185682.
1123182247 should contain the phrase "The painting currently hangs"; 1123185682 should contain the phrase "The painting hangs".

I originally noticed this because visual diffs were all showing "No changes", e.g.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Fighting_Temeraire&diff=1123185682&oldid=1123182247&diffmode=visual&visualdiff=1&diffonly=1

Most likely we should roll back the train, as this is probably related to either (a) the latest parsoid version on the train (unlikely) or (b) some change to the REST api exported by code for Parsoid (more likely).

Likely culprits:

$ git log --oneline origin/wmf/1.40.0-wmf.12...origin/wmf/1.40.0-wmf.13 -- includes/Rest

https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Server_Admin_Log mentions some renames of restbase* hosts to cassandra* today, but I wouldn't suspect that to be a likely cause. That *should* affect only beta?

Notably, VE doesn't use this "old ID" path, so it's quite possible that's why this wasn't caught earlier during the train.

@colewhite is working on the train rollback.

I can't say for sure that this fixes the issue, I tried it on itwiki (which is on wmf.13) and it doesn't look fixed in mwdebug:

https://it.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/Alan_Turing/130330525 and https://it.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/Alan_Turing/130522333
- search for "a parere di molti storici", it should show up in the id ending with 25: https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alan_Turing&oldid=130330525

It can be due to some aggressive caching somewhere though. I tried adding random stuff to url to pass edge caching.

nope, it was some sort of caching, fixed now: https://it.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/html/Alan_Turing/130330525?fwe
