jdlrobson 9150aec131 Feature flag overhaul
Two new feature flags:
1) MinervaPersonalMenu
2) MinervaAdvancedMainMenu

Changes:
* AMC defaults to false on desktop - desktop doesn't have AMC mode it just
enables several skin options.
* WHen inserting a link at the bottom of the page check whether the talk at top
of the page (tabs) is enabled.. not AMC
* Update ServiceWiring to construct menu based on MinervaAdvancedMainMenu
and  MinervaPersonalMenu - note when former is enabled but not latter there is
no way to logout. Noted in README.
* Use one entry point for skins.minerva.amc.styles/index.less
* Document files inside skins.minerva.amc.styles to make it clear which features
they are associated with
* Drop history page styles when AMC is disabled - it's not possible to ever get to
these as the history page redirects in non-AMC mode
* Rename the class .minerva--amc-enabled to minerva--history-page-action-enabled
to reflect its real purpose and move styles from skins.minerva.base.styles to skins.minerva.amc.styles
No need to worry about cached HTML as AMC runs without cache...
* Remove isAnyAMCOptionEnabled - it's an antipattern and should be discouraged as it discourages the
art of feature flagging. Nothing is using it after these changes.
* The AMC_MODE flag is disabled. There is no need for this - AMC is not a feature and therefore not a
skin option. It is a mechanism for turning on other skin options. Tests are updated.

Testing:
It should now be possible to enable any feature in `beta` and see it in the beta of the
site.

See <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:MinervaNeue>
Development
-----------
### Coding conventions
Please follow the coding conventions of MobileFrontend:
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MobileFrontend/Coding_conventions>
### Config
The following configuration options will apply only to the default mobile skin - Minerva.
#### $wgMinervaAlwaysShowLanguageButton
* Type: `Boolean`
* Default: `true`
Whether to show the language switcher button even if no languages are available
for the page.
#### $wgMinervaEnableSiteNotice
* Type: `Boolean`
* Default: `false`
Controls whether site notices should be shown.
See <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSiteNotice>.
#### $wgMinervaCountErrors
* Type: `Boolean`
* Default: `false`
Whether to count client side errors in statsv.
#### $wgMinervaErrorLogSamplingRate
* Type: `Integer`
* Default: `0`
Whether to log client side errors to EventLogging. If 0, error logging is disabled.
If 0.5, 50% of all client side errors will be logged to the EventLogging client.
If 1, all errors will be logged to the EventLogging client, thus when enabling this
care should be taken that your setup is bug free in order to not overwhelm the EventLogging
server.
#### $wgMinervaShowCategoriesButton
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'base' => false,
'beta' => true,
]
```
Controls whether the category button should be displayed.
#### $wgMinervaApplyKnownTemplateHacks
* Type: `Boolean`
* Default: `false`
When enabled and hacks.less exists, hacks.less workarounds are included in stylesheet. These should only be needed for Wikimedia based wikis or wikis using common templates such as Template:Infobox on those wikis.
#### $wgMinervaPageActions
* Type: `Array`
* Default: `['edit', 'talk', 'watch', 'switch-language']`
Controls which page actions, if any, are displayed. Allowed: `edit`, `watch`, `talk`, and
`switch-language`.
#### $wgMinervaPageIssuesNewTreatment
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'base' => false,
'beta' => true,
]
```
Controls whether page issues should be replaced with a "Page issues" link (false) or displayed inline (true).
#### $wgMinervaTalkAtTop
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'beta' => false,
'base' => false,
'amc' => true,
]
```
Controls whether the talk option should be displayed at the top of the page.
This will work for all pages except the main page.
#### $wgMinervaHistoryInPageActions
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'beta' => false,
'base' => false,
'amc' => true,
]
```
Controls whether the history link appears in the page actions menu.
#### $wgMinervaAdvancedMainMenu
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'beta' => false,
'base' => false,
'amc' => true,
]
```
Controls whether the main menu is expanded to contain recent changes and various options
that require login are removed. Note, should be enabled alongside `$wgMinervaPersonalMenu` to avoid losing access to features (in particular logout button).
#### $wgMinervaPersonalMenu
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'beta' => false,
'base' => false,
'amc' => true,
]
```
Controls whether a personal menu appears in the header chrome. This menu contains pages such as Special:Watchlist. Note, should be enabled alongside `$wgMinervaAdvancedMainMenu` to avoid duplicating links to functionality as many of the links duplicate links in the standard main menu. Note a sandbox link will be present if the extension `SandboxLink` is enabled.
#### $wgMinervaOverflowInPageActions
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'beta' => false,
'base' => false,
'amc' => false,
]
```
Controls whether the overflow link appears in the page actions menu.
#### $wgMinervaShowShareButton
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'beta' => false,
'base' => false,
]
```
Controls whether the share feature should be added to the page actions menu.
#### $wgMinervaEnableBackToTop
* Type: `Array`
* Default:
```php
[
'base' => false,
'beta' => true,
]
```
Controls whether the a back to top button should appear in the bottom right of the screen when scrolling.
#### $wgMinervaCustomLogos
* Type: `Array`
* Default: `[]`
Make the logos configurable.
Currently, `copyright`, `copyright-fallback`, `copyright-width`, and `copyright-height` elements are
supported.
* `copyright` is the URL of the logo displayed in the header and footer
* `copyright-fallback` is the URL of the fallback logo displayed on
non-supported browsers like IE8 or Opera Mini
* `copyright-width` (optional) is the width in pixels of the copyright image
you want to display
* `copyright-height` (optional) is the height in pixels of the copyright image
you want to display
* If the actual `copyright` dimensions are 200x30, then you may want to set the
width and height to 100 and 15 respectively (in order to support retina
screens).
* Note that if -width and -height are not used sysadmin should ensure the image
used is appropriately sized (suggested dimensions < 120px width and 18px height).
Example:
```php
[
'copyright' => '/images/mysite_copyright_logo.png',
'copyright-width' => 100,
'copyright-height' => 15,
]
```
Example with fallback URL:
```php
[
'copyright' => '/images/mysite_copyright_logo.svg',
'copyright-fallback' => '/images/mysite_copyright_logo.svg.png',
'copyright-width' => 100,
'copyright-height' => 15,
]
```
#### $wgMinervaAlwaysShowLanguageButton
* Type: `Boolean`
* Default: `true`
Whether to show the language switcher button even if no languages are available for the page.
#### $wgMinervaABSamplingRate
* Type: `Number`
* Default: `0`
On a scale of 0 to 1, determines the chance a user has of entering an AB test.
A test is divided into 3 buckets, "control" "A" and "B". Users that are selected for the
test have an equal chance of entering bucket "A" or "B", the remaining users fall into the
"control" bucket and are excluded from the test.
1 - would run test on 100% of users (50% in A and 50% in B, 0 in control).
0.5 - would run test on 50% of users (25% in A, 25% in B, 50% in control).
0.05 - would run test on 5% of users (2.5% in A, 2.5% in B, 95% in control).
0 would disable the test and place all users in "control".
Group assignment is universal no matter how many tests are running since both
`wgMinervaABSamplingRate` and `mw.user.sessionId()` are globals.
Group membership can be debugged from the console via:
```js
const AB = mw.mobileFrontend.require('skins.minerva.scripts/AB')
new AB({
testName: 'WME.PageIssuesAB',
samplingRate: mw.config.get( 'wgMinervaABSamplingRate', 0 ),
sessionId: mw.user.sessionId()
}).getBucket()
```
And since session ID is an input in calculating the group, reassignment occurs
when clearing it: `mw.storage.session.remove('mwuser-sessionId')`.
### Components
Components may be shared between server and client. Keeping all code for a single component only in
one directory makes it easier to understand the complete domain of a component, all of its implicit
dependencies, and also what it is independent of. The structure does not hint at ResourceLoader
module bundling of resources and code. That is the domain of skin.json.
New components are stored under components/. Potential older components are stored under includes/
and resources/, and those directory structures imperfectly represent ResourceLoader module
divisions.
#### Mustache
Mustache templates at the root components/ directory, like components/PageActionsMenu.mustache or
components/ToggleList.mustache, are designed to be rendered as root templates not partials. E.g.:
```lang=php
// 🆗
$templatesDir = __DIR__ . '/../../components';
$invalidateTemplateCache = false;
$templateParser = new TemplateParser( $templatesDir, $invalidateTemplateCache );
// Render components/ToggleList.mustache not components/ToggleList/ToggleList.mustache.
$html = $templateParser->processTemplate( 'ToggleList', $data );
```
Attempting to render a partial as a template root will fail because of components/ root path
assumptions:
```lang=php
// 🚫
$templatesDir = __DIR__ . '/../../components/ToggleList';
$invalidateTemplateCache = false;
$templateParser = new TemplateParser( $templatesDir, $invalidateTemplateCache );
// Error: components/ToggleList/ToggleList.mustache references
// components/ToggleList/ToggleList/ToggleListItem.mustache which does not exist.
$html = $templateParser->processTemplate( 'ToggleList', $data );
```
Partials in components/ subdirectories, like components/PageActionsMenu/PageActionsMenu.mustache or
components/ToggleList/ToggleList.mustache, are for in-template partial composition only as their
paths assume the render root is components/. E.g.:
```lang=mustache
{{! Include components/ToggleList/ToggleList.mustache, not components/ToggleList.mustache. }}
{{> ToggleList/ToggleList}}
```
