* 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.

Use an API 'parse' call with a sectionid to trigger
a full document expansion using replaceSectionAtRev.
Then send this off the RESTBase to convert to HTML
and statsh.
Ensure the etag is passed back to the API response.

I ran Closure Compiler over the codebase just to see what would happen,
and it printed some useful warnings.
