If someone has edited before the switch (2016-ish), never edited since
then, and try to edit again now, it's probably no longer helpful to
show them a popup dialog about a change that happened 5 years ago.
The immediate motivation for this, though, is T273189. We discovered a
bug with the preferences that, among other issues, caused this dialog
to not be shown in some cases where it should have been, and fixing
the bug now would cause it to be shown the on the next edit attempt.
If someone has edited before the switch (2016-ish), *and* edited since
then, and try to edit again now, it's definitely not helpful at all to
show them a popup dialog about a change that happened 5 years ago.

We have two preferences used for enabling/disabling VE:
'visualeditor-enable' and 'visualeditor-betatempdisable'.
(And 'visualeditor-autodisable', which sometimes overrides
them both, but it's not relevant here.)
The user can only set 'visualeditor-enable' when VE is Beta Feature,
and they can only set 'visualeditor-betatempdisable' when it is not.
However, when deciding if VE should be loaded, we always checked both
of the preferences. This gives incorrect results when the preference
that is not supposed to be settable actually exists, due to being set
in GlobalPreferences on another wiki where it's settable.
A similar issue could occur if VE configuration is changed from Beta
Feature to a normal preference (or the other way around), and the
preference values for the previous configuration still persist.

Depending on the config, we would sometimes define both the
'visualeditor-enable' and the 'visualeditor-betatempdisable'
preferences, even though they contradict each other.

isRegistered is part of the slick UserIdentity interface, i.e.
it's the more "canonical" form. This change makes it a bit
easier to move away from using the huge (4000+ LOC) User class
everywhere, in favor of the UserIdentity interface, where
possible.
This patch is meant as a small step towards this goal. I tried
to replace some usages of User type hints already, but prefer
to go in small, incremental steps.

We'll update this before 1.36 is released, unless we get Parsoid
integrated "properly" before then.

Currently we always register VE as a Beta Feature, and then
expect users to use $wgHiddenPrefs to hide it, hackily.
Also, set this new preference to false so that 3rd party
wikis don't show the BF by default.

Previously, when the editsection link of the section edit links had
a class defined (either by the skin or through an extension), the
mw-editsection-visualeditor class would not be added, as the + operator
on arrays does not merge existing entries.
The side effect of the mw-editsection-visualeditor class missing is
that the initialization code in ve.init.mw.DesktopArticleTarget.init
would add an additional link to the section edit links, resulting in
three links shown when VisualEditorUseSingleEditTab is false.

This copies the Parsoid extension code into includes/VEParsoid
to allow a "one extension, zero-configuration" install of
VisualEditor for MW's LTS release. The Parsoid code has been
re-namespaced (`VEParsoid` instead of `MWParsoid`) to avoid
autoloader conflicts if you actually install Parsoid as an
extension (as we do in Wikimedia production). Similarly, we
arrange that the ServiceWiring and RestRoutes configurations
are skipped unless running in zeroconf mode, to avoid
conflicts with the Parsoid extension.
This import matches Parsoid commit b30f223.

Goals:
* Allow other extensions to reuse these methods (maybe upstream them
to MediaWiki core later)
* Allow ApiVisualEditorEdit to extend ApiEditPage. We'll be able to
reuse its definitions for API parameters instead of duplicating
them, and we won't have to pass around unrecognized parameters.

We go through all this trouble to pass the config to the API modules,
and then we don't use it at all (we removed the uses recently in
ce094c72d and d85d30f9b).
If we end up needing the config there again, we can just get it by using
MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->getConfigFactory()->makeConfig( 'visualeditor' )
anywhere we want, like we do all over the place in VisualEditorHooks.

While we pretend that the ConfirmEdit CAPTCHA support is added by
ve.init.mw.CaptchaSaveErrorHandler in the ConfirmEdit extension,
we still have a bunch of code here required for it to work.
This commit removes some of it, no longer needed after

It turns out anonymous users can't apply change tags, so change

This opens up the API so that other tools can use it without being
forced to tag those edits as being from VE.
Also, document that tags is a working parameter that can be passed
through to the edit API.

In many places we check whether VE is available before doing things
(init.isVisualAvailable). This variable includes checks for whether
the page is wikitext, etc. Now it will also include checking whether
VE is enabled in user preferences.
In almost all places where init.isVisualAvailable is used, we were
already also checking if VE is enabled, so this doesn't affect the
behavior. But notably, we didn't do it when showing the option to
switch to VE in the welcome dialog and in the toolbar, causing T243723.
Changing init.isVisualAvailable this way makes it consistent with
init.isWikitextAvailable, which has always included a checking whether
NWE is enabled in user preferences.

* Change the query in ve.init.mw.ArticleTargetLoader#requestParsoidData
so that in non-RESTBase mode with wikitext it still returns the
metadata required to initialize the editor, using the backend API
code added in I1b35b28e428a1f86d2e34d90ddbe73361ce14818. This fixes
the exception from T222312.
* Introduce new configuration option $wgVisualEditorAllowLossySwitching
to control this feature. It is enabled by default, fixing T214542.
We allow it to be disabled because switching in non-RESTBase mode may
cause "dirty diffs" (non-semantic changes to the wikitext), which are
undesirable on wikis where users carefully review all changes.
