Revision: 36357 Add 'svn-revision' and 'svn-date' to extensionCredits where missing for extensions used on WMF servers

• 'svn-date' => '$LastChangedDate$',
• 'svn-revision' => '$LastChangedRevision$',

I should warn that these basically always give wrong results.

They only get updated when the *particular file* changes; in extensions consisting of multiple files (eg, every extension that follows our current coding standards), this means that the "version number" only gets updated when the configuration-and-hook-definition file is updated, not when the actual code changes.

I'd recommend removing them, as they are misleading and counterproductive.
