These aren't sentences but lists of aliases as well as suggested
values. They are rendered as <code>, visualized as light gray boxes.
We don't need them to respect some language-specific word separation
to be able to read them like a sentence.

Note this will make the templatedata API temporarily fail for
templates that are affected by this, until their documentation is
fixed. I think we have two ways to proceed here:
1. Thanks to Ie572809 we can change the API module to not do the
validation again. This allows us to make the validation more strict,
but the API module will continue to deliver the same data as before
until the parser cache is invalidated.
2. We accept it and merge this patch as it is. The problem is
extremely rare and easy to fix.

This makes it possible to use these steps independent from each
other. For example, a future patch can get rid of the re-validation
that's done over and over again when the API is called.
A significant change is that this gets rid of an expensive deep
clone. It was necessary before exactly because validation and
normalization was intertwined. Normalized properties would mess with
the later inheritance.
Strictly splitting validation and normalization (and executing them
in this order) solved this. The only downside of this is that
inherited properties are validated twice. But this is much less of a
problem, compared to the deep clone, I would like to argue.
This was always covered by tests. You can still see the tests fail
when you flip the execution order of inheritance and parameter
validation.

Some time ago there was a little bit of custom CSS applied to the HTML
table rendering. This is broken since patch I74214ea from 2016. This
patch renamed all CSS classes but forgot to update the PHP code
accordingly.
I decided to not change the HTML rendering because these class names
might already be used in custom per-wiki or per-user CSS. Instead I
partly revert I74214ea.
Unfortunately, some of the styles are quite dramatic, don't look good
or just don't work. I decided to remove some. The argument is that
the HTML rendering looks the same for 6 years now. I don't see a good
reason to change it now.
In detail:
* Suggested values are not aliases and should not be rendered in
gray.
* The message "no description" is rendered in gray and italics. But
this was applied to the wrong DOM element and made everything else
gray and italic as well.
* The color #777 is not readable, violating WCAG rules. While it's ok
to dim aliases and such, it must be at least #555 or darker.
* The "nowrap" destroys the table the moment one of the parameters
does have a longer name or alias. Let the browser handle this, as
it did for 6 years now.
* Same for rendering aliases as individual, indented blocks. This
makes the table unnecessarily big when there are many aliases, and
just doesn't look right. Again, let's stick to what we had for
6 years.

The idea is to make it a little easier to follow what's going on
here.
This also improves an error message when tests fail.

<pre> behaves very similar to <nowiki> in so far that whatever it
contains doesn't get parsed as wikitext. It might contain {{{…}}}
tripple brackets, but these aren't going to be activated as template
parameters.

This method is not used anywhere else:
https://codesearch.wmcloud.org/search/?q=getRawParams
I tried to make the code a bit more readable. Notable:
* Make use of the return value we get from the preg_… function.
* {{3,} means "the character '{' 3 or more times". {{{+ does the
same. Note the { doesn't need to be escaped when it's not
followed by a number.
* At the end, it doesn't make any difference when we scan for
optional closing brackets. The moment we find at least 3 we are
done.
The test is intentionally not moved. This is something for a later
patch.

One method is only public to be able to test it. Others look like
they have been made "protected by default", which is not needed
anywhere.

Effectively a no-op. This patch doesn't change what the code does.
Tests are in place to prove this.
As before, the tests are intentionally not moved but left in place.
This is for later patches to clean up.
Change-Id: If130e0d006a36d8c755288f8a4e4e9a4c42a6295
No functional change was made to the code. It was only moved from one
place to another. Note there are a lot of tests that cover this code.
The tests haven't been touched on purpose. Splitting these as well
is something for a later patch.

Parameter names in a template can be numeric. While it makes a lot of
sense to force a specific format in the TemplateData JSON (i.e. only
strings), it's inconvenient and confusing if numbers are rejected for
being "invalid".
Effects of this patch:
* The incoming JSON is allowed to contain numbers in the aliases
array.
* However, the API normalizes these and forces all aliases to be
strings, as it was always documented.
* The editor component accepts anything in the aliases array, but
forces all aliases to be strings. Again, as documented.
* Note that it was never possible to use numeric keys in the `params`
list. This patch is only about aliases.
At the moment this is a somewhat "hidden" feature. We might or might
not update the documentation to officially allow numeric aliases.

This streamlines the code of the helper method a bit, mostly by
avoiding duplication.
What actually happens is the exact same as before, with one
exception: When a test case doesn't have an expected "output",
the default (mostly empty) output does not run through the
roundtrip test. While doing this is not wrong, it doesn't tell
us anything about the specific test case.

"Almost" because I found at least one that appears to be
unreachable (the very first check for null). But changing this
code is out of scope of this patch.
This also updates some of the error messages to explain the
location of the error better. It appears like the incomplete
paths are copy-paste mistakes.
I also found one duplicate test case and removed it.

I find this good practice. It makes the tests more robust (e.g.
changes to a text don't make the test fail) and is potentially
faster, as no localization needs to be loaded.

This test was reported as being slow (approx. 0.1s, but still).
This new implementation is 10 times faster, while still
fulfilling the requirements. While the new algorithm is more
predictable (every chunk is guaranteed to contain every
character exactly onece), it's obviously still good enough.
Neither the exact length of the generated string nor the exact
length of the gzipped string matter. PHP's random number
generator might be different – possibly generating a string
that compresses different. Newer versions of the gzip library
possibly save an extra byte. Who knows. This test shouldn't
care, as long as the gzipped string is long enough.
Compatibility with PHP 7.1 can be dropped as it is not
supported any more since MediaWiki 1.34, as far as I can tell.

Mostly unused variable initializations. Note I'm inlining some
`var` keywords in this patch. This is in line with the current
style guides. See for example the discussion in I4f198e2 (search
for "hoisted" in the comments). However, I'm not changing the
entire codebase, as this is not the goal of this patch and also
just not necessary at this point.

assertEquals() does have weird effects, like not reporting a
method that is expected to return null but returns an empty
string, and such. While it's usually not a problem, I learned
to avoid it.

At the moment, when the user clicks the "Status" column to
sort by status, the statuses are ordered alphabetically,
which gives widely varying results depending on the language.
But there is an inherent order for these, even hard-coded in
the code: When a parameter is deprecated, nothing else matters.
Otherwise it's required → suggested → optional. Doesn't it
make much more sense to order the column this way? Especially
because there are never more than these 4 hard-coded values.
This is one of the (few remaining) issues mentioned on
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:TemplateData#Vorlagendokumentationsseite_verbessern_%E2%80%93_MediaWiki_ungen%C3%BCgend
This patch also makes it so that a CSS class name is always
added to all status fields, not only to the required ones.
This allows for per-wiki or per-user styling.

Example:
On
https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Template:Anschutz
the two parameters "state" and "capitalization_test" don't have
a label in the <templatedata> JSON structure. Instead the
internal parameter name is shown. But it's capitalized for an
unknown reason. I guess this is done to make the table look
"nice". But it causes confusion – see the ticket.
This capitalization is there since the very first commits from
2013, see I16d3f9e.
Compare with VisualEditor: Edit the template on
https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Conflict-title-0.8542952978413387-I%C3%B1t%C3%ABrn%C3%A2ti%C3%B4n%C3%A0liz%C3%A6ti%C3%B8n
or use the old wikitext editor and TemplateWizard to insert
the template. In both cases the parameter names are not
capitalized.
Another argument why this capitalization is misplaced: When
there is no <templatedata> JSON blob, the TemplateData editor
auto-detects the parameters and semi-automatically creates a
minimal JSON blob. This is the moment where labels should be
created and stored so the user can edit them. But this doesn't
happen (for good reasons).
The user can't do anything about the current capitalization.
The only way to change it is to add a label that does nothing
but repeat the parameter name, just to undo the capitalization.
That should not be the way this works, I would like to argue.
