In I1ccda3878a658d4251429ae65ebee04c09d81243, core decided
to technically allow temp. users to have watchlist access,
but have it disabled on permission level
(viewmywatchlist / editmywatchlist) instead of by isNamed() checks.
Minerva expects the watchlist permissions to be assigned to everyone,
but actual watchlist access to be available only to named user.
This is an incorrect assumption. Make a clear difference between
"page is watchable" concept (watch icon should show) and "user has
permission to watch" (if not, CTA to log in should show).
There is one additional step to fix, which is ensure
temp users receive the T330518 drawer. That is not a bug
in MinervaNeue, but in core -- mediawiki.page.watch.ajax.js uses
e.stopPropagating(), which means Minerva's CtaDrawer doesn't get
a say. Ideally, mediawiki.page.watch.ajax.js would know whether
the user has permissions to edit their watchlist. Alternatively,
it could have an interface to allow extensions to add their own
error handling. See T344925 for details.

Move away from User, and use Authority instead. The only exception is
isBlockedFrom, which still requires a User object, so inject a
UserFactory for that.
Simplify the test accordingly, and also remove implicit assumptions as
to what certain user groups are or aren't allowed to do (e.g., watch
pages).
Also avoid using TestUser as it needs a DB connection.

isRegistered() is a method in the much more narrow UserIdentity
interface. This change makes it easier to move code away from the
problematic User "god" class in core.

Remove code per spike outcome (T226490#7438685)
- This configuration option is never used in Wikimedia production
- isTalkAllowed content body is merged into isAllowed. Resulting code
is more readable.
- isAllowed('talk') still returns false on main page for anonymous users
which is the current behavior. Even on sv.m.wikipedia.org where talk pages
are shown to anonymous users, we do not show the talk page on the main page.
