Enhance MinervaNeue Skin with Codex Integration and Style Refinements. This update to the MinervaNeue skin introduces enhancements aimed at integrating with Codex UI components and the optimisation of skin-specific styles. These changes are in direct response to the objectives set forth in Phabricator task T356678, focusing on modernising the skin's aesthetics and functionality.
Changes:
- Enhanced skin.json to include new 'scripts' and 'styles' configurations, incorporating Codex UI components such as 'CdxButton' and a variety of Minerva-specific styles like 'skins.minerva.base.styles' and 'skins.minerva.content.styles.images'.
- Refined `includes/Skins/SkinMinerva.php` by restructuring the method of loading skin and feature-specific styles. The update simplifies style management, allowing for a more granular approach to style application. This includes separating page-specific styles from feature-specific styles.
Rationale:
The implementation of Codex UI components within the MinervaNeue skin is to leverage modern web design principles, enhancing usability and aesthetic appeal. By refining the skin's style loading mechanism, we aim to at least maintain if not reduce the overhead, improve page load times, and offer a more customisable appearance, ultimately benefiting both end-users and developers.

'SkinUserPageHelper'. The service will used in SkinOptions in the
follow-up change I014e61c6692adbbe449f1e6aa9c6ae73dbcff925.

Remove the comment about the reason for output encoding. Output
encoding is standard and doesn't require an explanation.

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.

The fixSpecialName function does the opposite of what we want - it takes
a special page and converts it to the local name using getLocalNameFor
Instead of doing that map canonicalTitle to a Title created using the canonical
name.
This requires less computation than localizing every title in the pagetitles array.

Whereas previously, the value of the query param would simply determine
whether or not night mode was enabled, we would like to be able to
control the actual night mode setting off of the query param
Now, it functions as an option to force the user into a particular
setting, be it automatic, night, or day. If the query param is not set
(if night mode is enabled via config), we will default to the user
option as before

Add a new user option, `minerva-night-mode`, and configure it with a
default value of 2 (automatic based on OS). Rework the code in
`getHtmlElementAttributes` to set the initial class value according to
the user option, which will be set and saved inside of MobileFrontend

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.
