Probably as fallout from the jQuery 3 update and associated promise-async
changes, `viewNode.destroy()` in the reflist preview caused problems when
adding a new reference with the generated content nodes which were actually
having to make an API call for their contents. New functions for waiting for
content generation to finish were added to core, and will defer the
destruction of the placeholder view until after it's done rendering.

This code has been developed over three years now in the repo of MediaWiki's
integration of VisualEditor. It has grown and developed significantly during
that time, but now is pretty stable. A number of hacks inside the MediaWiki-
VisualEditor code base have been used to prevent this code from being loaded
on wikis where the Cite extension is not deployed, but this state of affairs
is and always was meant to be temporary.
This code is under the MIT licence which is a tad messy, but not impossible.
It's clearly labelled as such. The list of authors has been updated to take
into account the influx of new functionality.
