Change Details

Since we already use the same formatter for footnote marks in the article body and in the footnote block, it's a good target for giving authority over numbering. Upstream callers are released of responsibility. Work in progress: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/Cite/+/553478

The point of this task is to find whether the "rollback" step can be avoided during parsing. This logic exists to handle the case when a `<ref>` tag is processed as if it's on the top level of the document, but later we discover that it was inside of a disguised `<references>` block written as `{{#tag|references`. The rollback adds significant complexity to Cite and it would be worthwhile to rewrite this in a simpler way if possible. ~~Since we already use the same formatter for footnote marks in the article body and in the footnote block, it's a good target for giving authority over numbering.
