As temporary users will not have access to user preferences (T330815),
use cookies or localStorage to save them, like we already do for
logged-out users.
Also add some comments to point out where we intentionally distinguish
logged-out and temp users.

In detail:
* Just compare strings where possible. Sometimes the first character
alone is distinct enough.
* Add missing ^ anchor to avoid possibly running unbound pattern
searches. This is not strictly necessary when we know the input is
fixed-length. Still I find it more robust and more obvious what it's
meant to do. Not to "search for some match somewhere" but to check if
the input _is_ a match.

.test() is the dedicated syntax for a boolean "does match? yes/no?"
check. .match() returns an array of matches, or null. This is just not
needed in these situations.

The `.` character class matches any character *except* line terminators,
but edit summaries can contain those. Use [^] to match truly everything
in the comment part. (In the section part, I assume `.` is okay.)

Reasoning:
* format=json must be the default. Nothing else makes sense in
the context of this code. This should not be a surprise.
* formatversion=2 is only a default when the custom
getContentApi() is used, but not when mw.Api is used. One
might argue that it's safer to always specify formatversion=2.
However, this is not done in other places in this codebase.
It should never be done or always.
* I find it confusing when the action=… is missing. Let's not
rely on this default.

These don't add any knowledge but make the code harder to read
and maintain, and are an additional source of errors.

As far as I can tell, the code only uses the comment, nothing else.
Omitting the title probably won’t make the underlying database query any
cheaper, but it should at least save some network traffic.

Animation shows breifly on every keystroke, even though
only one server request is made, as the promises always yield
to a browser animation frame.
A pending animation isn't really required for autocomplete
as the results are only optional suggestions.
