Bartosz Dziewoński 8ae4925676 Allow switching from WTE to VE with changes in non-RESTBase mode
* 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.

VisualEditor

VisualEditor provides a visual editor for wiki pages. It is written in JavaScript and runs in a web browser.

It uses the Parsoid parser to convert wikitext documents to annotated HTML which the VisualEditor is able to load, modify and emit back to Parsoid at which point it is converted back into wikitext.

For more information about these projects, check out the VisualEditor and Parsoid pages on mediawiki.
