The parsed content of JSON files in the gadget is made available from the
gadget's JS files via require(). That is, MediaWiki:Gadget-data.json (or
Gadget:data.json) is available as `require('./data.json')`. This is
supported for both MediaWikiGadgetsDefinitionRepo and
GadgetDefinitionNamespaceRepo. The JSON parsing is done server-side.
JSON can only be used in "package" gadgets - in which the JS files can
also be invoked via require().
Also added a test for GadgetResourceLoaderModule.

DataUpdate is a specific implementation (currently the only one), while
DeferrableUpdate is the interface. Binding against the interface is
enough, and what the base classes already do.
I'm also removing a line of meaningless documentation. "Creates an
instance of this class" is a general description that is true for all
constructors.

This is a resubmission of 86905f8, which was reverted because
of a bug in ResourceLoader that caused gadget styles to be
concatenated in the request for site.styles (fixed: 15ca48ad).
This change ensures that gadget styles no longer get combined with styles
from core, skins and extensions in their early stylesheet request. Instead,
they now load after the 'ResourceLoaderDynamicStyles' marker directly
after the site.styles module request.

This ensures that:
* It will load in the request for module=site.styles
instead of the request for core, extension and skin modules.
* It will load after the 'ResourceLoaderDynamicStyles' marker
instead of before.

T87871 formally introduced the concept of a styles module,
which sets mw.loader.state to "ready" when loaded through addModuleStyles().
Previously, addModuleStyles couldn't safely do that because a module may
contain scripts also, in which case mw.loader must still load the (rest)
of the module (causes styles to load twice).
In MediaWiki core or extensions this is easily avoided by calling not
calling both addModules() and addModuleStyles().
For Gadgets we call both as a workaround to allow users to provide styles
(without a FOUC), but also to provide scripts+styles. Since we don't declare
which one is intended (and some gadgets do both), we loaded them both ways.
This will no longer be allowed in the future (see T92459).
The new 'type=styles' Gadget attribute promises to ResourceLoader that a
gadget only contains styles.
Impact:
* [Bug fix] When mw.loader requires a styles module that already loaded,
it will not load again.
* [Feature] It is possible for a general scripts+styles gadget to depend on
a styles gadget. Previously this caused the styles to load twice.
* Specifying type=styles will load the module through addModuleStyles() only.
Use this for modules that contain styles that relate to elements already
on the page (e.g. when customising the skin, layout, or article content).
* Specifying type=general will load the module through addModules() only.
Use this if your module contains both scripts and styles and the styles
only relate to elements created by the script. This means the styles do not
need to be loaded separately through addModuleStyles() and will not apply
to noscript mode.
Effective difference:
* Gadgets with only styles: We assume type=styles.
This fixes the main bug (styles loading twice) and requires no migration!
* Gadgets with only scripts: We assume type=general.
This requires no migration! (And: No more empty stylesheet request)
* Gadgets with scripts (with or without styles): We assume type=general, but
unless type=general was explicitly set we'll still load it both ways so
that the styles apply directly on page load.
If this is not needed, set type=general.
If this is needed, it should become two separate modules. We do not support
a single module having two purposes (1: apply styles to the page,
2: provide scripts+styles). The styles module should be separate.
It can be made hidden, and listed as dependency of the other module.
The latter case is detected on page load and results in a console warning
with a link to T42284.

Implements:
* Gadget definition content and content handler
* Basic validation for gadget definition content
* GadgetDefinitionNamespace implementation of GadgetRepo
* DataUpdates upon editing/deletion of Gadget definition pages
* EditFilterMerged hook for improved error messages
* 'GadgetsRepoClass' option to switch GadgetRepo implementation used
* Lazy-load the GadgetResourceLoaderModule class so we don't need to
load each individual gadget object unless its needed
Note that Special:Gadgets's export feature intentionally doesn't work
yet, and will be fixed in a follow up patch.
Bug: T106177
Change-Id: Ib11db5fb0f7b46793bfa956cf1367f1dc1059b1c
In the backend, allow:
* Adding dependencies on messages
* Marking gadgets as hidden so they don't show in preferences
These cannot be used by MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition gadgets, but will
be used by Gadgets 2.0 gadgets.
