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 c2defc9783 ve.Element refactor
Objectives:

* Move ve.ui.Element to ve.Element
* Make CE nodes inherit from ve.Element

* Move and rename
* Move ve.ui.get$$ to ve.Element.static.get$$
* Add static getDocument and getWindow methods
* Add instance getElementDocument and getElementWindow methods

ve.ce.*Annotation.js, ve.ce.*Node.js, ve.ce.View.js, ve.ce.Document
* Added config options pass through
* Replaced passing elements through constructor with defining static tag names

ve.ui.GroupElement.js, ve.ui.Layout.js, ve.ui.Widget.js,

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.

Trevor Parscal cd6b54a4e8 ve.ui.LookupWidget
Refactoring of externally sourced suggestions for text inputs.

*.php
* Added links to new file

ve.ui.InputLabelWidget.js
* Changed to focus input element, not wrapper div

ve.ui.InputWidget.js
* Fixed incorrect documentation

ve.ui.LookupInputWidget.js
* New mixing that abstracts placing a menu of options below a text input
  and filling it with data from an external source

ve.ui.MenuWidget.js
* Fixed to get reference to input element, no wrapper div

ve.ui.MWLinkTargetInputWidget.js
* Moved pending and lookup functionality to mixing
* Implemented menu population using only matching pages, rather than a
  combination of that and page existence checks (fewer API calls)

ve.ui.TextInputMenuWidget.js
* Added configurable container to render underneath, rather than assuming
  this.input.$
* Added auto-position-on-window-resize functionality
* Fixed frame position correction to ensure that it only is used when the
  overlay is in a different frame from the container to position
  underneath

ve.ui.TextInputWidget.js
* Added placeholder text feature
