LocalisationUpdate and ProofreadPage second try tomorrow; Collection too

Updates are coming back for LocalisationUpdate and ProofreadPage
extensions, which we tested then pulled Tuesday due to performance problems.

Roan's redone LU to store the message updates in serialized files
instead of the database, which we can sync locally to web servers and
should perform much better; I'll also do a more gradual test rollout so
we can scale it back more gracefully if we have problems again.

ThomasV has fixed up some bad queries in ProofreadPage, and it should be
ready to go again; the updated version has much more advanced index
support and looks pretty spiffy. :)

And if we've got time between other things, I'll roll out the updated
Collection as well -- this makes big improvements to the UI for building
a multi-page book, and leaves the sidebar much less cluttered when
you're not using it.

ProofreadPage updates have been put live, and aren't killing servers
this time. :) Thomas is investigating a reported compat issue with Opera.

Ok, the updated LocalisationUpdate is running on test.wikipedia.org and
aa.wikipedia.org; have run one update but haven't set it up as a cron
job yet.

Will roll out progressively to more client wikis later while watching
the CPU. :)

Ok, we still need to complete automation of update runs for
LocalisationUpdate[1], but it seems to be working!

It's not the most glamorous of extensions, but you can see here[2] an
updated message ("Den här sidan" where the current deployed message file
says "Denna sidan har")!
