Description

Add an API to discourage/encourage a page
Make the discourage/encourage process use that API rather than reloading the page kind of hackily

Use case: I've done several batch discouragements on Meta (I.e you might want to discourage all subpages of an obsolete project at once, or all pages tagged {{historical}}. Doing this manually without waiting for a reload between every page is a pain requiring lots of clicks.

I just mass discouraged several hundred pages (old community wishlist reports) using self-written JS that is basically screenscraping. And before that I discouraged 1000 pages in 2 hours and caused T423779#11857265
