We need to include the presentation of hCaptcha challenges in EditAttemptStep's event logging data. @DLynch proposed that we log the appearance of the challenge as a saveFailure event.
This event should also express if the challenge was shown via AbuseFilter’s showcaptcha consequence.
This should be a good semantic fit with the existing usage of saveFailure, because my understanding of the hCaptcha flow is that it'll show the captcha after the user clicks to publish their edit. This aligns with how the already-present ConfirmEdit captchas work, just without the same cycle through the page-request flow.
AFAICT, this should be:
mw.track( 'editAttemptStep', { action: 'saveFailure', message: 'hcaptcha', // Or 'hcaptcha_always_challenge' if that SiteKey is in use type: 'captchaExtension' } );
