Description

At the most recent MediaWiki engineering offsite we decided to resolve the "future of linting" (T330036) by putting lints in ParserOutput and updating our database tables in the RefreshLinksJob.

We can begin to move the lints to the ParserOutput, but we're probably blocked on switching the database maintainance from the RecordLintsJobs until we switch RefreshLinksJob to run on Parsoid output (T393716). That's on our roadmap, though.

This task replaces the initial discussion task (T330036) and a different solution to the linting jobs issue (T370624) with a statement of the agreed direction of work.
