Description

In order to move Parsoid out of RESTbase, we want to reduce the functionalituy implemented for parsoid in RESTbase. The most relevant functionality is storage and /preganeration of parsoid output. We want to disable this, turning RESTbase into a mere proxy for RESTbase content.

NOTE: The pre-generation in RESTbase mechanism is currently responsible for sending purges to the CDN caches when parsoid content is updated. If we disable storage in RESTbase, this task will have to be replaced by another mechanism. See T365630.

Presumably the same hooks we use for pregeneration could be preserved, just hollowed out so that they "only" did cache invalidation?

@Ladsgroup: Heads up that this will cause more requests to the parsoid extension endpoints, causing more ParserCache reads. Based on the information in Turnilo, about 100 req/sec. It should cause no additional writes, since we are currently doing active pre-generation on all changes already, including template changes (though PC writes from the parsoid endpoints are disabled on Commons and Wikidata).
