… and make the error message for bad dir="…" shorter and more to the
point.
Now I understand why the error reporting was not done when $text was
empty: the error was actually appended to $text, which messes with
everything else that also works with the $text variable! This even
includes the API. This error message was exposed via the API. That was
certainly a bug.
With this patch, all error checking for the dir="…" attribute is now
done way down, when rendering the <references> section.
Note this also fixes a bug where the dir="…" was *not* rendered when
previewing a section.

This fixes a whole bunch of inconsistencies:
* The dir attribute is now trimmed, as most others already are. This is
an actual user-facing change.
* The internal representation is now false in case the value was invalid,
not an empty string any more.
* Null means the attribute was not present. This is now always used,
even in the return values that are meant to represent an error state. No
existing behavior changes.
* The internal representation does not contain an HTML snippet any more,
but the raw value "ltr" or "rtl", or null. Note this might influence the
API, because the API actually exposes the internal representation.
However, we are pretty sure the API is not used anywhere. Even if,
exposing HTML code was most certainly an unwanted and unexpected effect
of the patch that introduced the dir attribute. This does make this a
bugfix, I would argue.

This patch does intentionally not touch any file name. Some of the
file names are a little weird now, e.g. \Cite\Cite. These can more
easily be renamed in later patches.
I used https://codesearch.wmflabs.org/search/?q=new%20Cite%5C( and it
looks like this code is not used anywhere else.

The use case we care about is this:
<ref extends="some_book"> </ref>
It doesn't make sense that works, but the following doesn't:
<ref extends="some_book"></ref>
We decided that both need to behave the same.
For consistency this patch is applying the same change to all references,
no matter if they use the extends attribute or not. This is an actual
change and might make existing wikitext render differently. However, I
would like to argue that all wikitext that was using this was broken. The
effect of a <ref> </ref> with some whitespace is that the <references>
section at the end of the article will contain – well – an empty footnote.

Note this codebase appears to be dual-licensed. Some files mention MIT,
but extension.json and some other files mention GPL.
Since WMDE typically uses GPL, I will continue to mark the files we
created as such.

Note how this code was broken since 2018 (Iff480bc). In this execution
path, $val is a string. There is no $val['dir'].
Luckily, this was dead code since 2008 already. See

The main motivation here is to cover the fallback code that was moved
in I20c814d. At some point we might touch this code again.

This code is typically not executed on special pages and such, so we
assume the isArticle check doesn't make much of a difference. The main
difference we are aware of is that this will exclude previews.

1. Most existing CiteTests can be unit tests. They run so much faster
this way.
2. I modified some test cases to cover all trim() in the code.
3. The strict type hint in CiteHooks is removed because the parameter
is not used. Having a hard type hint for what is effectively dead code
makes the code more brittle for changes done outside of this codebase.
Change-Id: I1bff1d6e02d9ef17d5e6b66aeec3ee42bba99cf4
This fixes a series of issues:
* There is nothing about a "frame" in the Cite class any more.
* There is no addModules() call in the Cite class any more.

To be honest I don't get why this lazy registration was done in the
first place. None of the 4 other hooks should ever be called before
the ParserFirstCallInit hook got called.
Also, under which circumstances can the ParserFirstCallInit hook be
called more than once?
Both scenarios would be wrong, as far as I'm concerned. Either I'm
missing something, or this code can indeed be simplified. Maybe it was
something to make it more compatible with older MediaWiki versions?
The only reason I can think of is: in all situations that do not
involve a parser, having the 4 extra hooks registered is pointless.
Does this waste space and/or runtime in the $wgHooks registry?
