Bug ID: 73319
Summary: Batch multiple entity-changes in one request

We need a possibility to make multiple changes to an entity with one request
that results in several "smaller" edits in the backend (and is visible as
multiple edits in the history and recent changes).
While moving towards the new UI layout, we are going to replace individual edit
toolbars with just a fex section-edit-toolbars which makes it possible in the
UI to edit several parts of an entity at once. It might not be a good idea to
do a pile of API requests to wbsetreference, wbsetqualifier, wbsetclaim,
wbsetlabel etc.. at once when someone hits save and we might want to use
wbeditentity instead.
The disadvantage of editentity is, that the edit-summary will be somewhat
useless for huge changes as it will just say "Updated item".
The solution would be a flag in wbeditentity that causes the backend to save
individual ChangeOps separately resulting in several edits and thus in several
entries in recent changes and the history.
Another approach would be to implement a completely new API module that takes a
list of changes (one change would be equivalent to what the "data" parameter in
wbeditentity contains) and that saves these changes individually.
