Let's try to get this out in 1.19, adding milestone

bug 25882?

I planned to write this into my page output branch. After scanning code I found it fit more into that project because whether you want a canonical url or not is very dependent on Article/PageView/SpecialPage processing since you don't want it on diff pages, oldids, etc...

switch to milestone, remove release tracking dep

This has since been solved. The OutputPage::setCanonicalUrl() method exists for this.

And per T27882, it is also used by default on all page views.
