For years, users have complained that the CodeMirror toggle button is
confusing and concealed. The icon looked too similar to the edit icon,
when it was supposed to be a highlighter. The new icon is similar but
has a highlighted line to help clarify what it is. We also now have the
text 'Syntax' accompanying the icon. Translators are instructed to try
to be brief to conserve space in the toolbar. "Syntax highlighting" is
the full correct term, and remains the text for the button's tooltip.
The new icon is ~0.3KB uncompressed, just meeting performance guidelines
for using @embed <https://w.wiki/AsPW>. This is also only temporary until the icon is upstreamed in Codex/OOUI.

This adds the `ext.CodeMirror.v6.init` ResourceLoader module which
allows use of CodeMirror on `#wpTextbox1` without the use of WikiEditor
(the 'usebetatoolbar' preference). In order for users to opt-in to using
CodeMirror, we make the existing 'usecodemirror' option into a visible
preference. In addition, with two preferences related to CodeMirror, we
group them under a new heading 'Syntax highlighting'. More preferences
may be added later to this section following T359498.
When WikiEditor is not enabled, the layout of the action=edit page has
the textarea as a sibling to other visible content, like `.editOptions`.
Because of this, we can't simply append the CodeMirror DOM to the parent
like we were before, as that would put the visible editor beneath the
edit summary, Publish button, etc. Instead we rework the CodeMirror to
first add a wrapper around the textarea and use that as the parent. This
way, `.cm-editor` is always in the same place in the DOM as the native
textarea.
Line wrapping and focus/blur events are also moved to CodeMirror, as
these are needed when not using WikiEditor.

This patch adds an icon displayed above the cursor inside a template. By clicking it, the template parameters become hidden and replaced by three dots, while the template name remains visible. Clicking the dots will unfold the template. New key bindings include fold (Ctrl-Shift-[/Cmd-Alt-[), unfold (Ctrl-Shift-]/Cmd-Alt-]) and unfoldAll (Ctrl-Alt-]).

The highlightSpecialChars() should act mostly identical to CM5. An
example is the soft hyphen (U+00AD). These are highlighted as a red dot
because they are non-printable characters.
The i18n may seem like overkill, but CM6 would otherwise actually print
the same message in plain English and without a way to localize it.
Per request at T181677, we also highlight non-breaking space and the
narrow non-breaking space. These are shown as a faint gray dot, to match
CM6's highlightWhiteSpace() extension. That extension isn't used here
because it would also highlight normal spaces, which we don't want.

As of this patch, these should be the only messages used by us that live
in the CodeMirror library. More may be added later as new features
are added. We load all translations as a default CodeMirror extension
given the small cost and importance of localization.
