Visual Editor should use the `action=query&prop=info&inprop=linkclasses` to color newly-added links

Description

When we added a link color for temporary accounts (parent task), VE will need to use a linkclasses query to apply those classes to newly-added links.

This can also replace VE's handling of 'mw-redirect' (but not redlinks).
