Improved handling of removed entities in SQLStore

In previous releases it could happen that deleted entities (subject, property) reappeared in queries even though they have been removed. This release introduces several changes to eliminate some of the issues identified.

• #1100 introduced a deletion marker on entities that got deleted, making them no longer available to queries or special page display.
• #1127 Added --shallow-update to rebuildData.php, to only parse those entities that have a different last modified timestamp compared to that of the last revision. This enables to run rebuildData.php updates on deleted, redirects, and other out of sync entities.
• Solved #701 where an unconditional namespace query [[Help:+]] would display deleted subjects (in case those subjects were deleted)
• #1105 Added filter to mark deleted redirect targets with SMW_SQL3_SMWDELETEIW
• #1112 Added filter to mark outdated subobjects with SMW_SQL3_SMWDELETEIW
• #1151 Added removal of unmatched "ghost" pages in the ID_TABLE
