Remove direct usage of CSS variables in Minerva, and replace them with
codex design tokens again. Document this decision in the original ADR
Note: there are still a small number of CSS variables in use, including
most notably the --color-link-red fix, which broke when I removed it,
but this change takes care of all the ones that could be easily replaced

The values have slightly changed:
- Tablet breakpoint is decreased by 80px,
pushing lesser devices into a mobile only experience but
should make barely a difference to vast majority of our users.
- Biggest difference is in `min-width-breakpoint-desktop`,
which is increased by 120px in comparison to
`@width-breakpoint-desktop: 1000px`
Also removing one out-dated feature phone clause.
TECHNICAL CHANGES:
* The previous breakpoint was tied to the maximum content width.
The previous maximum content width is preserved, and several media
queries are adjusted to make use of it.
* The header (logo) is not optimized for 640px-720px. For now
a temporary fix is but in place which will be investigated as part
of T366859
VISUAL CHANGES:
* 6 visual changes which improve alignment in language and
visual editor overlay and diffs (where wikidiff2 is not
installed)

The classes:
- skin-night-mode-clientpref-0
- skin-night-mode-clientpref-1
- skin-night-mode-clientpref-2
is being replaced with
- skin-theme-clientpref-day
- skin-theme-clientpref-night
- skin-theme-clientpref-os
- Moved $forceNightMode to be a text parameter (dat|night|os)
- Keep adding the old classes to the html element, to give the ability of gradual deployment
The preference is renamed from minerva-night-mode to minerva-theme (a follow up to consider
migrating existing values will follow).
The query string minervanightmode continues to behave the same but now
accepts other values such as day, night and os.

All colors used in Minerva are converted from Less variables
into CSS custom properties. A new file called CSSCustomProperties.less
is created in the skins.minerva.base.styles module to store
these custom properties and an ADR is provided on the rationale for
dropping support for browsers that don't support custom properties.
The new CSS custom properties follow Codex design token conventions
where possible (and noted when not).
Link colors are unique because their styles are defined in core,
so in that case the Less variables values are set to custom properties.
Those values are then fed back into MediaWiki core for core link
styling.
Also adds a temporary night-mode color palette under the
.skin-nightmode-1 class on the <html> element.

Replacing 'mediawiki.ui/variables.less' @import with
new skin-aware 'mediawiki.skin.variables.less' standard.
Removing calls for 'mediawiki.skin.variables.less' in favor for
'minerva.variables.less' for consistency.
Also
- replacing several static values with new Codex design token featuring
skin variables of `background-color`, `color`, `border-*` and
`transition` categories
- renaming several Less variables to variable naming standard
- moving a small number of MinervaNeue specific variables into
'minderva.variables.less' file. Those should be replaced in mid-future
by Codex design tokens
Please note, that this patch is not replacing all values with
possible Codex tokens. It's just applying them on selected
categories for consistency for now to keep the patch easier reviewable.
Further replacements will be done in follow-up patches.
Bump MediaWiki core required version to >= v1.41.0.
