[mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor@master] DuplicateLinkEditCheck: Add ignoreFragmentSelfLinks config

BTW, could we also add a check if a page has a "true" self-link, not fragment self-link -- like the ones that don't work and show in bold (except from those in navigation templates)? Should I file a separate task?

I wonder if that's a common enough problem to be worth the effort? [I.e. the time it would take the team to implement the code (whilst excluding nav-templates), and the translatewiki-translators to work on the strings in 300 languages, and me/us writing the MW documentation section, and anyone who spends time reading the documentation...] -- It's often a fuzzy-line/judgement-call, but I'm hesitant for this particular idea... -- In other words: Is this a mistake that newcomers do a lot, that often requires experienced editors to notice and fix? If yes, then file a task; if not, then either ignore, or add to the Edit Check/Ideas page (and note it as "low" in the "Impact" column)

Well, yeah, it's probably a very rare problem -- just thought about it from the self-links mention here.
