Commit summary:

Implement magic accessors for RequestContext variables: you can now just call 
$context->request->stuff(), and that is internally mapped to the get accessor.  
Rename the private variables to the old $mName syntax: I know that that's 
"discouraged in new code", but in this case it stops over-clever IDEs 
highlighting the magic accesses as potential visibility errors and sticking big 
error tags on them.

Comment:

Just seemingly having 2 references to possibly multiple objects of the same 
things seems a bit daft/wrong :)

Which is more confusing. I was looking at index.php and noticed both seemed to 
be used at a low level above it (in the RequestContext and the MediaWiki 
classes)

If you want me to find it specifically, let me know, but it'd be nice to tidy 
it up
