Description

Summary

The User::getGlobalBlock method is no longer used in WMF production code. It should be hard-deprecated to allow T319069 to completed in the next MW release.

Background

The last usage of User::getGlobalBlock in production code was removed in T363185, which will be present from MW 1.44.
Other non-production deployed code uses this, but we do not need to update those uses to hard-deprecate it

Acceptance criteria

User::getGlobalBlock is hard deprecated
