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

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.

With this change, long disclaimer links can be wrapped into new line
instead of clipped in single line.

Enabling 'selector-max-id' rule, and changing in rare exceptions like
`#bodyContent` to `.mw-body > .content` where there's only one less
specific option.

* Remove ambiguity in imports - say the file extension
'less' for all instances of variables and mixins.
* Separate toast styles from drawer styles so they can be
imported separately
* associate header-action selector with its parent
(.overlay-header) not parent's parent (.overlay) so it can be imported
and rendered without the Overlay.

Split apart the extensive mainmenu.less file into a few component-like
files: MainMenu, MainMenuFooter, MainMenuItem, and NotificationsOverlay.
Two variables, @duration and @easing, were moved to minerva.variables.
The separation is imperfect as some overlap still exists but is far
better than before.
This patch is focused on division without regression. Please limit any
refactor requests.
No user visible changes intended. The only selector that was cognizantly
changed was to duplicate the drawer visibility on main menu and
notifications overlay:
// Old: mainmenu.less
.navigation-drawer,
.transparent-shield {
visibility: visible;
}
// ---
// New: MainMenu.less
#mw-mf-page-left,
.transparent-shield {
visibility: visible;
}
// New: NotifcationsOverlay.less
.navigation-enabled {
.notifications-overlay {
visibility: visible;
}
}
The is unfortunately useless. It is best to reproduce these changes
locally by renaming mainmenu.less to MainMenu.less and extract parts to
MainMenuFooter, MainMenuItem, and NotificationsOverlay LESS files until
the result matches.
