With complex additions to Vector's codebase like the Desktop Improvement
Program upcoming, it's important that we have a shared, intuitive
language to talk about features and their requirements. Centralising
the registration of features and creating an API satisfies does exactly
this.
This change introduces a greatly-reduced version of Piotr Miazga's
(polishdeveloper, pmiazga) original proposed API and associated
scaffolding classes for feature management in Vector, which itself was
based upon his work in MobileFrontend/MinervaNeue. This is done to
establish a foundation upon which we can build the more sophisticated
parts of Piotr's proposal in a piecemeal basis, thereby minimising risk.
Distinct from Piotr's proposed API is the ability to register sets and
features that are always enabled or disabled.
Additionally:
- A Vector.FeatureManager service is registered but not used
- A list of proposed immediate next steps is included

The renderNavigation function provides an unnecessary level of
abstraction which I'd argue hurts readability of these functions.
Let's remove it.

Thanks to the dependent change, the print logo is now provided
in core so we can remove the custom Vector ResourceLoader module
ResourceLoaderLessModule is replaced with a ResourceLoaderSkinModule
and gains the features capability replacing the need for
'mediawiki.skinning.interface' making use of the changes added in
6845912bcf1.
Note that for cached HTML both 'mediawiki.skinning.interface'
and skins.vector.styles will be loaded. We can avoid this
by renaming skins.vector.styles if necessary (but I'm not
sure if we'd want to do that)

- Update package.json with the new dependencies.
- A script storybook.sh pulls down CSS and LESS imports from external
dependencies. This copies the approach taken in Popups and MobileFrontend.
- Icons from external repos are maintained within the repo in SVG-only form.
Using load.php modules is also possible, but will pull down other unnecessary icons
and break if any of these modules are changed. Decided that we should manually maintain
these for the time being given there are only 3 icons.
- Several LESS files now import the variables file. I think it's useful for stories
to only import the CSS they use as this encourages us to modularise our CSS. Before these
imports were not necessary as they inherit imports from index.less. This will have no impact
on the bundle size as the LESS compiler silently discards duplicate imports
- stories/utils.js provides a useful placeholder function for generalising our hook entry
points.

Vector provides two vector specific hooks:
- VectorAfterToolbox
- VectorBeforeToolbox
Instead of supporting Vector specific stuff we should aim
for a nice global skin api and allow other 3rd party to
extend MediaWiki functionality no matter which skin is currently
on.

A Portal (or portlet) in the Vector context is a section of the
sidebar menu (e.g. Tools, Languges etc.).
The hook that places content between the portals (or portlets?)
such as `SkinTemplateToolboxEnd` and `otherlanguages` has been
enclosed inside of an output buffer so that any content it
produces can be passed to a template.

The SkinVector implements IContextSource, thus it has to provide
the getConfig() method. Vector skin is currently using
it's own `vectorConfig` in one place and it passes the VectorConfig
to the VectorTemplate class. Sadly the VectorConfig is the same
thing what $this->getConfig() provides. There is no need to make
this code more complex by handling two different config containers
which at the end are the same GlobalVarConfig instances.
If we decide to handle VectorConfigs differently, let's thing it
through, for now we should simplify code and remove all uncessary
logic. Thanks to that, there is also no need to override the
setupTemplate().

For consistency with VectorTabs, rename SearchComponent to only imply

just "Search") for grepability and standard component style conventions.

Extract SearchComponent.mustache from VectorTemplate. The "search"
message is now escaped by the template parser. As is, htmlspecialchars()
for "wgScript".
A later patch will change each component renderer function as well as
renderNavigation() to return a string.

Regression from 74b9803d9a, caused by a bug in LightNCandy which
caused {{foo}} to render "0", and {{#foo}} to pass as true with "0", but then
in {{#foo}}<b>{{foo}}</b>{{/foo} render as empty string producing "<b></b>".
In other words, the conditional is passing and the inner block is executed,
but the placeholder is mistakenly converting "0" => null => "" (empty string),
causing the <h1> to render but without any text in it.
Work around this bug by simply removing the conditional. Several other skins
already don't have this conditional and it's unclear why or in what
situation MediaWiki would send OutputPage to SkinTemplate without a title.
I think it would make sense in such rare case to still have a consistent
layout for extensions and gadgets to interact with and not omit the H1
element, but render it with the value that OutputPage gave it, even if it
is the empty string.

This reverts commit a3ca2c3e16.
Reason for revert: This requires wider discussion before moving
forward, and a more complete implementation even once we do have
consensus.
No associated task exists on which to view or continue this
discussion: linked task briefly mentions Mustache in general as an
option as part of a much wider topic, but doesn't concern this
specifically.
Issues that should be discussed include:
* What the intent even is here: is this for one skin only? Is this
the intended path forward for all of them? Depending on which, we
have other issues: for the former case, that it is quite
unhelpful in terms of maintenance and further development having
more random code diversity out there, especially in this
half-completed state; or if it is indeed intended for all of them,
that an RfC is needed before anything is merged, as that is a very
significant change.
* That using Mustache in MediaWiki does add (usually minor)
performance overhead; we need to clearly establish in the task that
this is indeed worth it here.

* Improve their accessibility by giving both links
a full label "Jump to x" and "Jump to y" instead
of "Jump to: ", "x", "y".
This also makes things much better for localisation, for which
we generally discourage use of concatenation.
* Use pure CSS for the toggling of the visibility on focus,
instead of relying on JavaScript. Especially given the
JS comes form core's 'jquery.mw-jump' module, which is
considered technical debt per T195256. Alternatively,
that could be copied to vector.js, but pure CSS
is possible, so why not.
* Use plain <a> links in the HTML instead of wrapped in a <div>.
This solves the long-standing problem whereby the margin
between #contentSub and #mw-content-text had to be awkwardly
negated and overridden in core and on various to make sure that
the wrapper itself would become visible as needed, in a way that
has margin around this. This whole problem doesn't apply when
simply using inline links that aren't part of the regular flow
with .mixin-screen-reader-text. On focus, the individually
focussed link appears in regular flow, without the need for
any custom styles.
* This uses :not(:focus) to naturally make it render in the default
way on focus, and visibibly hidden/clipped otherwise.
This is supported in IE9+ and Android 2+.
There is a way to make it work with CSS2 for IE7-8, by applying
the mixin to '.mw-jump-link' only and then undoing all of
'position', 'width', 'height', 'clip', and 'margin' on :focus.
But I'm not sure that's worth it here. The fallback in IE7-8
for not supporting ":not(:focus)" is that the accessibility
link is simply visible always, which seems like a good fallback
for accessibility, and doesn't hurt anything.
