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 current white text on a green background is not an accessible level
of color contrast. We were instead recommended to use
@background-color-progressive, so let's do that
In addition, remove the previous definition of
@background-color-last-modified-bar-active as it's no longer being used

Change-Id: I916450c276cabb0c7c871525c50f95fb87f498ad
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.

Removes the following unused Less variables, mostly
related to icons, since those were converted to Codex:
- @icon-touch-area-sm

- @min-size-icon (replaced with @size-icon-medium)
- @icon-glyph-size-sm

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.

Making Minerva use the `elements` feature is not
practical at the current time. In lieu of that, we
update the link colors to use the core definition.
The red links and external link colors
can come from the "content-links" module.
This also adds support for the underlining user link preference
and better plain link support.

em values are calculated relative to the parent element's font-size, not
the root or browser-default font-size. However, @font-size-minerva-small
and @font-size-minerva-smallest are supposed to be relative to the
assumed 16px browser default font-size. If they are used in an element
that already has a smaller-than-100% font-size, the resulting font-sizes
will compound and can be smaller than accessability minimums. This change
uses rems instead, so -small and -smallest will be the same sizes
everywhere on the page.
If -small or -smallest were used anywhere where parent-relative font
sizing is expected, this patch will change the size of that text. This
is only a problem if the new size is smaller than the old size, as any
sizes smaller than -smallest are an accessability issue. I looked for
any potential problems, but didn't see any.

For now, only define:
- @font-family-sans (unused in MinervaNeue, but for possible future use)
- @border-radius-base
With current implementation before this patch, MinervaNeue is relying on core's default
`@border-radius` which is set to `0` to be close to HTML default.
MinervaNeue is currently not applying correct skin's `border-radius`.

variable only used at `@width-breakpoint-mobile - 1`.

It dates back before MinervaNeue was its own skin in Iff1f7e63e796cc
and was probably an idea to provide a simple one-stop solution for
a typography change of font size.
It isn't very well setup for this and also provides no value as of now,
for code simplicity's sake, let's remove it.
From a design perspective, we would approach this problem differently
nowadays.

In various places we try to override the default mw-ui-icon behaviours
The hacks need to be removed as part of addressing the core problem.
Changes:
* Wherever we use mw-ui-icon-before in PHP - wrap the label with a span
so that label font-size is altered where needed - not the icon
* Where a small icon is needed us isSmall parameter for the Icon component
* Apply font-size to labels of mw-ui-icon-before elements
* The browser tests need a slight update to access the span element inside
a menu item - in the case of the logout button the label is always hidden,
so we need to check the visibility of the parent element (secondary_action)

skinStyles/mobile.startup/search/SearchOverlay.less:
* Use @siteHeaderHeight even though it is an overlay, because it's
