MusikAnimal 5a07eb35db CodeMirror 6: localize search dialog
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.

German translations from the CodeMirror docs:
https://codemirror.net/examples/translate/

Also add a note in the README about the search dialog.

## Development
As part of the [upgrade to CodeMirror 6](https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T259059),
CodeMirror now uses an asset bundler, so during development you'll need to run a script
to assemble the frontend assets.
Use of CodeMirror 6 is controlled by the `wgCodeMirrorV6` configuration setting, or by
passing in `cm6enable=1` in the URL query string.
You can find the v6 frontend source files in `src/`, the compiled sources in
`resources/dist/`, and other frontend assets managed by ResourceLoader in
`resources/*`.
### Commands
_NOTE: Consider using [Fresh](https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/fresh/) to run these tasks._
* `npm install` to install dependencies.
* `npm start` to run the bundler in watch mode, reassembling the files on file change.
You'll want to keep this running in a separate terminal during development.
* `npm run build` to compile the production assets. You *must* run this step before
sending the patch or CI will fail (so that sources and built assets are in sync).
* `npm test` to run the linting tools, JavaScript unit tests, and build checks.
* `npm run test:lint` for linting of JS/LESS/CSS.
* `npm run test:lint:js` for linting of just JavaScript.
* `npm run test:lint:styles` for linting of just Less/CSS.
* `npm run test:i18n` for linting of i18n messages with banana-checker.
* `npm run test:unit` for the new Jest unit tests.
* `npm run selenium-test` for the Selenium tests.
* `npm run test:bundlesize` to test if the gzip'd entrypoint is of acceptable size.
Older QUnit tests are in `resources/mode/mediawiki/tests/qunit/`. These will
eventually be moved over to `tests/qunit` and rewritten for CodeMirror 6.
## CodeMirror 6 change log
This is a list of changes that either come by default with the CodeMirror 6 upgrade,
or changes of our that we deem as reasonable improvements.
Some may be removed pending user feedback:
### Upstream changes
* Bracket matching now highlights unmatched brackets in red
### New MediaWiki mode features
* Closing HTML tags that highlighted as an error now also highlight the closing '>'
* Allow link titles to be both emboldened and italicized.
### Deprecations and other changes
* The `.cm-mw-mnemonic` CSS class has been renamed to `.cm-mw-html-entity`
* The `.cm-mw-template-name-mnemonic` class has been removed.
Use `.cm-mw-template-ground.cm-html-entity` instead.
* Line-level styling for `<nowiki>`, `<pre>`, and any tag without an associated
TagMode has been removed.
* The browser's native search functionality (ala Ctrl+F) has been replaced with
search functionality built into CodeMirror. This is necessary to maintain
performance (see [T303664](https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T303664)).
