Description

The GlobalBlocking special pages currently allow users to pass in a username or IP as the target when removing or locally disabling blocks. We should allow the user to specify a global block ID, so that global autoblocks can be removed or locally disabled without having to know the target of the autoblock. This is so that we consistent with the local blocking pages.

Acceptance criteria

The Special:RemoveGlobalBlock and Special:GlobalBlockStatus special pages are updated to allow taking a global block ID as the target
