[mediawiki/core@master] Disable autopromote-once for temporary users

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/933986

Testing notes

Autopromoteonce is similar to autopromote, documented here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAutopromoteOnce

This is easiest to test locally, since it relies on specific configuration.

Create an autopromoteonce group

Set something like the following configuration:

$wgAutopromoteOnce['onEdit'] = [
	'editedonce' => [
		'&',
		[ APCOND_EDITCOUNT, 1 ],
	],
];

This creates a group called 'editedonce', which users get autopromoted(-once) to after editing 1 time.

EITHER: Check groups on Special:UserRights

(If testing before T340458: Throw an error from API Userrights explaining that temporary users do not have groups is merged.)

• Create a new temporary user by editing
• Visit Special:UserRights/<the temp user's name>
• Before this task, they would be reported as belonging to the group 'editedonce'. After it, they shouldn't.

Note that autopromoteonce groups are reported separately from autopromote groups on Special:UserRights:

Member of: <autopromoteonce groups>
Implicit member of: <autopromote groups>

OR: Check groups via maintenance/shell.php

If testing after T340458: Throw an error from API Userrights explaining that temporary users do not have groups is merged:

• Create a new temporary user by editing
• run the following in maintenance/shell.php:

use MediaWiki\MediaWikiServices;

$ugm = $MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->get('UserGroupManager');
$temp = User::newFromName('*Unregistered 100'); // Replace with your temp user's name

$ugm->addUserToAutopromoteOnceGroups($temp, 'edit'); // returns []
$ugm->getUserAutopromoteOnceGroups($temp, 'edit'); // returns []

@Tchanders Thanks for the config. I did not come across any issues of them belonging to the same group as seen in the screenshot with the new patch. The task will be moved to Done. Thanks for all your work!
