We updated this documentation just recently via Ie370cfe. We followed
what the createModel() function does. But this is not the only way a
PreviewModel object can be created. Reference previews, for example,
don't use it.
Instead of following createModel(), I checked what the different popup
types actually use.

This installs a series of safety nets:
* The selector [href*="#"] skips links without a fragment.
* It's still possible that a fragment exists, but is empty.
mwTitle.getFragment() checks this.
* The gateway does not assume the element exists, but checks this first.
If there is no such element, the gateway aborts the request in a way
that no error popup is shown. This is currently only possible with the
`{ textStatus: 'abort', xhr: { readyState: 0 } }` response as seen in
this patch. We might need to introduce a new, more clean way to silently
quit a fetchPreviewForTitle() call.
* The test for the reference gateway finally covers the scraping code.

This will affect all links, including [[Other page#Fragment]] for
example. But it will not have much of an effect there. The mw.Title
class is able to understand strings like "Other page#Fragment". All
old code calls title.getPrefixedDb() on the result. This will *not*
include the fragment. Only the new code will use title.getFragment().
I made sure this does not affect regular page previews, even when the
link is something like [[Other page#Fragment]].

I guess both is fine: either having the default in the gateway (as it
was before), or in the renderer (as this patch proposes). I, personally,
feel better with having it closer to where it is needed. This way it's
not possible to accidentially deliver a model object with an empty title.
The renderer will catch this.
At the moment we don't know exactly how we will fetch other titles (e.g.
"Book").
This change is split from I15611a4 where it was a little misplaced.
It also includes a test for the default fallback title.

Special characters that have a meaning in one of the many different input
formats jQuery accepts must be escaped.
The real-world use-case are references like <ref name=":1"> with a colon.
But it's many more characters that need escaping. See
http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/
Note this patch misses a test. I already uploaded I9ec57e0 to fix the
currently incomplete tests. But I can't make it work. How do I create an
element in the test environment so that jQuery finds it?
I suggest to merge this and continue working on the tests later, because
this is currently one of the most annoying issues that makes all testing
unreliable.

Excluding tests for the renderer which keeps failing. This will be
readded in a later patch.

It's not exclusively about page summaries any more.
We had a few suggestions in mind:
* get, fetch, request, or issueRequest. But I feel these are all to
generic and don't describe well what the method does. As a reminder:
It expects a Title object and returns a promise, which returns a
PreviewModel object, which contains an HTML "extract".
* fetchPreview? I feel this can still mean to many things.
* fetchPreviewModel? But we don't really need to repeat that it will
return a model object.
So I went for fetchPreviewForTitle. What do you think?

This adds support for preview popups on reference/footnotes from
the Cite extension. For that a new preview type was introduced and
integrated into the existing structures.
The essential starting points were this code comes into action are
added behind the feature flag introduced in the previous patches.
