[fix][Less] disable sidebar animations on page load

There's a longstanding Chrome bug that causes CSS transitions to show in
their terminal states. This patch works around the issue by limiting
transitions to JavaScript users only via the `client-js` class which is
added to the root `html` Node some time after page content loads. The
effect is a better overall experience for everyone but transitions
unfortunately no longer appear for no-JS devices.

I am unable to reproduce this issue in Vector's configuration. This
patch should only be merged as a last resort.

/**
* Wait for first paint before calling this function. That's its whole purpose.
*
* Some CSS animations and transitions are "disabled" by default as a workaround to this old Chrome
* bug, https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=332189, which otherwise causes them to
* render in their terminal state on page load. By adding the `vector-animations-ready` class to the
* `html` root element **after** first paint, the animation selectors suddenly match causing the
* animations to become "enabled" when they will work properly. A similar pattern is used in Minerva
* (see T234570#5779890, T246419).
*
* Example usage in Less:
*
* ```less
* .foo {
* color: #f00;
* .transform( translateX( -100% ) );
* }
*
* // This transition will be disabled initially for JavaScript users. It will never be enabled for
* // no-JS users.
* .vector-animations-ready .foo {
* .transition( transform 100ms ease-out; );
* }
* ```
*
* @param {Document} document
* @return {void}
