Description

We need to do this, because WikifunctionsClient will be installed on a bunch of wikis whereas WikiLambda will only be installed on wikifunctions.org.

No use of WikiLambda code and classes in WikifunctionsClient
Logic for turning wikitext into a back-end function call is moved from WikifunctionsClient to WikiLambda and called via an API(?)

It's not super-important, but why isn't it called "WikiLambdaClient"?
