Description

Background

The Unblock API currently assumes $wgEnableMultiBlocks is false, and provides no means to remove a specific block.

For the Block API, see T378147

Acceptance criteria

Use the existing id parameter to support block ID, which tells the backend to remove only that block
If both an id and username are provided, error out with a detailed message - "you should only provide username OR id, not both"
If no id is provided and a user is provided, remove all blocks for that user (this is the current behaviour)

Change #1102408 had a related patch set uploaded (by Dmaza; author: Dmaza):

[mediawiki/core@master] [WIP]

I changed the acceptance criteria to use the existing id parameter, instead of a new blockid. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=unblock

Change it back if that doesn't work, for whatever reason.
