User:BrownHairedGirl/Election links cleanup/AWB custom module

Warning and disclaimer
If you are considering using this module yourself, please note that:
 * 1) I published this code for the sake of transparency, so that other editors could examine precisely what I am doing. I have given no consideration to others using it, but since it's on a Wikipedia page, it's licensed for re-use. So anyone is entitled to use it and/or hack it as they wish
 * 2) The bottom line is that WP:ELLINKS is on the edge of WP:NOTBROKEN. In some cases its use amounts to a minor violation of NOTBROKEN; in other cases its fine.
 * 3) So there is always a possibility that someone could object, but I note that the discussions on my talk page have been broadly positive, and I get lots of thanks notifications for my WP:ELLINKS edits. So make your own call on how close to the wind you want to sail.
 * 4) I have not attempted to perfectly generalise this module or to document its quirks and failings. It's good enough for my own use, and I don't intend to polish it for publication.
 * 5) As with any code, I recommend that it be run only if you either have confidence that it has been polished and checked (which has not happened here), or you understand what the code is doing and have satisfied yourself that it does what you want, without errors.

Here is the code, with no guarantees that it is fit for any purpose whatsoever. Note that WP:AWBRULES #1 says "You are responsible for every edit made. Do not sacrifice quality for speed, and review all changes before saving."

So ... if you decide to use this module, and it blows up your house, kills all babies within a ten-mile radius, and triggers a new ice-age, that is your responsibility.
