Since sysops can make sysops, we want to have a way for bureaucrats to enforce
a desysopping so a random sysop can't come and undo it. The idea was to use
wgRevokePermissions to create a revoke group, so a bureaucrat could add someone
to that group and then it wouldn't matter if the user was a sysop or not, they
still wouldn't have the actual rights. Thanks to wgRevokePermissions this works
for everything but access to Special:Userrights.

The UserrightsChangeableGroups hook would be an alternative solution, but it
was removed in 1.16 because it was unused.
