Martin Urbanec 0109b17483 watchlist: Don't assume only named users have watchlist access
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.

Bug: T344870
