The client can load the language links for a given page directly from wb_items_per_site instead of loading the item object and then getting the links from that. This works around bug 42825 (though it's in no way a solution). Also, on the wikimedia cluster, loading from the secondary table is quicker than fetching the object blob from ES if the item objects isn't already loaded and cached.
Change I228161f9: load sitelinks from table, not item object.
