For example, checking if a parameter is required works just fine
for unknown parameters. They are never required. Since I16708b0
we don't need to guard the spec related methods any more.

These methods are special in so far that they create *minimal*
wikitext where optional whitespace is not preserved. I tried
to rename the methods to reflect this, but could not find a
caller. What's used instead are the .serialize() methods.

If a known parameter is present using one of it's aliases, then
only the aliased name should be shown to the user. This patch,
therefore, resolves the issue of the same parameter being added
to the sidebar twice.
When adding a parameter that is aliased, it will receive the same
position as the non-aliased parameter it is replacing.

It's allowed in values, but not in parameter names. The moment
a parameter name contains an `=` the parameter name will be cut
off at this point, and what's behind the `=` will become part
of the value.
You can test this on any live wiki. Open VisualEditor. Edit any
template. Add a parameter with a name like `a=` and some value.
Switch to wikitext mode and back. Edit the template. The `=` is
now part of the value.

When what you type is a partial match, you can't add it as an
unknown parameter, even if that would be the correct action. The
reason for this unexpected edge-case is a mistake in the code
where a variable called "exactMatch" is set when a *partial*
"nameMatch" was found.

The so called "spec" class keeps track of parameters that have
been used before, no matter if documented via TemplateData or
not. Removed parameters are still "known" (i.e. have been seen
before).
This feature allows to easily find previously used parameters
names when an undocumented parameter was removed and the user
tries to add it again.

I rearranged this piece of code like a dozen times before I
finally understood what it actually does. This should be much
more obvious now.
The idea is:
* If no edit was made the button is always disabled.
* You can save pretty much everything, except when the
transclusion still starts with a placeholder.
* You can also click the done button when the dialog is empty.
This feels a bit odd, but was like this before. I think this
codepath is unreachable. But it probably doesn't hurt to
keep it.

These tags don't do much, if anything. But they provide a hint
in which scope a method might be used.

While the term "canonical" is not wrong, I find it still
somewhat ambiguous.
1. "Canonical" could mean different things. E.g. is the order
of parameters as they appear in the article's wikitext the
"canonical" one? It's possible to argue like this, esp. if a
template doesn't have TemplateData documentation. In this case
the only order known is the one from the wikitext.
2. "Canonical" sounds like the parameters must be reordered.
But this should never happen. Not having dirty diffs is more
important than having the parameters in a specific order.

This reverts commit 950a5300dc.
Reason for revert: This broke several workflows. The reason is
that MWParameterPlaceholderPage & MWParameterSearchWidget both
hold references to the MWTemplateModel. This model is not
always the same. The dialog might be the same when a template
is edited multiple times. But the model might be a new one.
From this point on the MWParameterSearchWidget pulls data from
an outdated model.

This does not revert commit 950a5300 but applies the most
minimal hotfix I could come up with.
The reason for the breakage is that MWParameterPlaceholderPage
& MWParameterSearchWidget both hold references to the
MWTemplateModel. This model is not always the same. The dialog
might be the same when a template is edited multiple times.
But the model might be a new one. From this point on the
MWParameterSearchWidget pulls data from an outdated model.
This extra check compares this model reference and creates a
new widget when it changed.

There is a codepath where `modelPromise` is undefined and
calling `modelPromise.then()` fails. This codepath implies
that the dialog is empty and there is nothing to update. We
can just close the dialog then.
I found this while debugging the actions in this dialog.
This happens when the dialog is empty (except for a
placeholder) but you submit it anyway. This is typically
not possible as the button is supposed to be disabled.
Still I think it's a good idea to make this code less
fragile.
The relevant code was introduced in Ibc2fc66 (2016).

This reflects much better how this method is meant to behave.
Note I will continue to remove documentation that doesn't
explain anything in addition to what the code already says.

This makes the code more readable and easier to reason about.
The ESLint rule responsible for this code style was removed
just recently.
Notes:
* I focus on classes that are relevant for what the WMDE team
does right now.
* I merge multiple `var` keywords only when the variables are
strongly connected.
* Caching the length in a for loop makes the code hard to
read, but not really faster when it's a trivial property
access anyway.
