Trevor Parscal 2e76271b4e The Great ve.ui.Surface refactor of 2013
Prologue:

Farewell ve.Editor my good chap… Oh, hey there HTML frames - I didn't
see you there! In a world where iframes are outlaws, and symbols like
document and window are global, there were more than a few assumptions
about which document or window was being used. But fear not - for this
commit (probably) tracks them all down, leaving a trail of
iframe-compatible awesomeness in its wake. With the great ve.ui.Surface
now able to be used inside of iframes, let the reference editing
commence. But there, lurking in the darkness is a DM issue so fierce it
may take Roan and/or Ed up to 3 whole hours to sort it out.

Note to Roan and/or Ed:

Editing references seems to work fine, but when saving the page there
are "no changes" which is a reasonable indication to the contrary.

Objectives:

* Make it possible to have multiple surfaces be instantiated, get along
  nicely, and be embedded inside of iframes if needed.
* Make reference content editable within a dialog

Approach:

* Move what's left of ve.Editor to ve.ui.Surface and essentially
  obliterate all use of it
* Make even more stuff inherit from ve.Element (long live this.$$)
* Use the correct document or window anywhere it was being assumed to be
  the top level one
* Resolve stacking order issues by removing the excessive use of z-index
  and introducing global and local overlay elements for each editor
* Add a surface to the reference dialog, load up the reference contents
  and save them back on apply
* Actually destroy what we create in ce and ui surfaces
* Add recursive frame offset calculation method to ve.Element
* Moved ve.ce.Surface's getSelectionRect method to the prototype

Bonus:

* Move ve.ce.DocumentNode.css contents to ve.ce.Node.css (not sure why it
  was separate in the first place, but I'm likely the one to blame)
* Fix blatant lies in documentation
* Whitespace cleanup here and there
* Get rid of ve.ui.Window overlays - not used or needed

Trevor Parscal 92f6688162 ve.ce.ProtectedNode
Objective:

Generalize the shield and phantom magic, so we can use it for pretty much
any node we like. Usually this will be used with generated content nodes,
but also with aliens (of course) and possible other stuff in the future.

Bonus:

Also fixes a bug in DM that would crash VE when you selected to the end
and hit backspace.

Changes:

*.php
* Added links to files

aliens.html
* Added attributes to aliens to make them aliens again

ve.ce.AlienNode.js
* Moved shield and phantom functionality to ve.ce.ProtectedNode

ve.ce.AlienNode.js, ve.ce.MWReferenceListNode.js,
ve.ce.MWReferenceNode.js, ve.ce.MWTemplateNode.js
* Mixed in ve.ce.ProtectedNode

ve.ce.Node.css
* Reorganized styles and updated class names
* Added simple light blue hover with outline (using inset box shadow) for
  protected nodes, same style as before for aliens

ve.ce.Surface.css
* Moved phantom styles to ve.ce.Node.css

ve.ce.BranchNode.js
* Moved call to setLive(false) to happen before detach() so that the
  surface object is still available and events can be disconnected

ve.ce.BranchNode.js, ve.ce.Document.js, ve.ce.js, ve.ce.Surface.js, ve.ce.SurfaceObserver.js
* Adjusted CSS class names

ve.ce.Node.js
* Moved shield template to ve.ce.ProtectedNode

ve.ce.ProtectedNode.js
* New class, mix into another class to protect it from editing

ve.ce.RelocatableNode.js
* Renamed temporary surface property to relocatingSurface to avoid
  confusion when debugging

ve.ce.Surface.js
* Moved phantom template to ve.ce.ProtectedNode

ve.dm.Transaction.js
* Fixed bug where most of the internal list was being deleted when the
  end of the document was selected and the user pressed backspace

Trevor Parscal 7233ea8f1b EventEmitter API cleanup
The EventEmitter API we inherited from Node.js and then bastardized was
getting awkward and cumbersome. The number of uses of ve.bind was getting
out of control, and removing events meant caching the bound method in a
property. Many of the "features" of EventEmitter wasn't even being used,
some causing overhead, others just causing bloat. This change cleans up
how EventEmitter is used throughout the codebase.

The new event emitter API includes:
* emit - identical to the previous API, no longer throws an error if you
  emit error without a handler
* once - identical to the previous API, still introduces a wrapper* on -
  compatible with the previous API but has some new features
* off - identical to removeListener in the previous API
* connect - very similar to addListenerMethods but doesn't wrap callbacks
  in closures anymore
* disconnect - new, basically the opposite of addListenerMethods

Another change that is made in this commit is mixing in rather than
inheriting from EventEmitter.

Finally, there are changes throughout the codebase anywhere
connect/disconnect could be used.
