api.php?action=purge can do more than index.php?action=purge - the
"force[recursive]linkupdate" parameter.

Assume we have a page containing [[Category:{{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}]]. Maybe we
can deprecate the "parser cache clearing action" by postprocessing parser
output or simply disabling parser cache, but I don't think we'll find a way to
update the categorylinks row every second. In this case a "link updating
action" is still needed. The equivalent thing on index.php is a null edit.
