This error message really always meant nothing but "there is an
unknown parameter in your <ref> tag". It's unnecessarily confusing
only for historical reasons. See T299280#9384546 for a long
explanation.

This reverts a very tiny part of Ib3fdc89 from 2 weeks ago. The
reasons are explained in Ib3fdc89. Short version:
* The ->parse() calls have drastic performance implications.
* Allowing wikitext and HTML in this message also makes T321217
worse.
The new message "cite_reference_backlink_symbol" is kept and still
used in the UI. Just not in these two messages any more. This is a
minor redundancy we want to get rid of at some point. But it's not
critical for the moment. This will be done as part of T321217.
Nothing will break on the wikis. Some wikis have customizations for
"cite_references_link_one" and "cite_references_link_many" in place.
This will continue to work as before Ib3fdc89.

The WikiEditor extension has a button and some help text that
is only applicable if the Cite extension is enabled. Move
that (with some modifications) to the Cite extension instead.

Perform the validation in validateRef, and display a new error message for
broken "follow" refs. This changes existing behavior, where broken folow
ref content is arbitrarily displayed at the top of the references list and
no error is rendered.
Thanks to weasely wording, the new error can later be reused for "extends"
errors.

These create bogus output, depending on the surrounding wikitext the
<ref> tag is used in. For example, this example wikitext:
* Example.<ref name="1">a</ref> More text.
… will be rendered with the "More text" sentence wrapped on the next
line, outside of the list. However, this does *not* happen in many of
the localizations, e.g. German, because many Tanslatewiki translators
did not copied the bogus \n. Why should they.
TL;DR: These newline characters either do nothing, or destroy the output.
In both cases the proper fix is to replace them with spaces.
Some of the test cases touched in this patch demonstrate the issue.

This resolves another TODO. Since this is an intentional limitation in
the design of the feature, I find it pretty signigicant to give it it's
own error message.
Note that the text does not need to be perfect, just good enough for now.
We will review all error messages later via T238188.

It's possible to nest <references> by using tricky constructs like the
{{#tag function, and this breaks our rollback logic. Try to show normal
output, otherwise show an error.

In historical versions of the Cite extension, unclosed <ref> tags were
sometimes caught and rendered as another, unrelated validation error.
This is no longer the case thanks to a more accurate check for
unclosed <ref> tags.
Remove user-facing text explaining the edge condition.

Naming the tag is consistent with other extensions. Going into detail
about specific attributes or closing the XML tag is unnecessary.

… 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 changes the a11y support on the main backlinks by introducing the usage
of title and aria-labels. The support for these elements increased a lot since
the topic was first tackled and seems the appropriate way to go.
A new message was introduced for the link that will be set when directly
coming from a clicked refrence to emphasize that the can jump back to where
he came from.

This is based on the popular 'count' parameter from Template:Reflist on
English Wikipedia, which has also been adopted by many other wikis.
That template's 'count' parameter allows maximum flexibility on a per-
page basis. This was important because the template can't know how many
references the list will contain. Users typically manually add (and
later, increment) the 'count' parameter when the list exceeds a certain
threshold.
The template currently sets an exact column count (via the CSS3
property `column-count`).
This patch improves on that by instead using the closely related CSS3
`column-width` property. This automatically derives the column count
based on the available space in the browser window. It will thus create
two or three columns on a typical desktop screen, and two or no columns
on a mobile device.
The specified width is the minimum width of a column. This ensures that
the list is not split when rendered on a narrow screen or mobile device.
It also hooks into the raw list before parsing and adds the class only
when the list will contain more than a certain number of items. This
prevents very short lists from being split into multiple columns.
Templates like Template:Reflist on English Wikipedia currently are not
able to set inline styles on the list element directly, which is why
they set it on a `<div>` wrapping the `<references />` output. Because
of this, the feature of the Cite extension must not be enabled at the
same time, as that would result in both the template's wrapper and the
references list being split. The end result would involve sitations with
three columns split in four sub-columns, creating a complicated mess of
nine intermixed columns.
To provide a smooth migration for wikis, this feature can be disabled by
default using `$wgCiteResponsiveReferences = false`. Each individual
template createing reference list can then be migrated, by removing the
wrapper column styles and instead settting the new "responsive"
attribute, like so: `<references responsive />`.
Once any conflicting templates have been migrated, the default for the
wiki can be swapped by setting `$wgCiteResponsiveReferences = true`.
If wikis wish for some templates to keep their custom column splitting
behaviour, templates can also opt-out by setting `responsive="0"`, which
will make sure that it will keep behaving the current way even after the
feature becomes enabled by default for the wiki.
In summary, when disabled by default, pages can opt into this system
with `<references responsive />`. When enabled by default, pages can opt
out of the system with `<references responsive=0 />`.
* Deprecate cite_references_prefix/cite_references_suffix.
This message is rarely used and opens up compatibility hazards.
It was already removed by Parsoid, but the PHP implementation
still had it. It's typically used to add inline styles to the
wrapper which is more appropiately done in Common.css (or
obsoleted as part of the skin or Cite extenion itself nowadays
depending on what style in question).
It was also a HTML-style message with separated open and close
segments, which is an anti-pattern in itself.
* Declare module target explicitly and include mobile. The absence of
this stylesheet caused subtle BiDi/RTL bugs on mobile.

In reference links, brackets are wrapped in nowiki tags to avoid
breaking the link. This uses instead [ and ] (ASCII for
[ and ]). This simplifies parsing and mitigates the issue of
strip markers in references data.
