As described in the readme but not implemented until now, this patch
enables the skin version to be specified as a URL query parameter. This
is useful for testing both skin versions during development and on wiki,
as well as enabling sharing URLs with a specific skin (Vector) and skin
version (1 or 2).
Obtaining the actual skin version requires tying together three input
sources, WebRequest, User, and Config. It seems simple but it'd be easy
to botch. For this reason, a helper class to correctly interrogate them
and tests are provided.

Add a Vector-specific user preference to Special:Preferences for
toggling skin version, either Legacy Vector or the latest Vector.
The presentation of the new preference section and the default values
for anonymous, new, and existing accounts are configurable via
$wgVectorShowSkinPreferences, $wgVectorDefaultSkinVersion (to be used by
the feature manager in T244481),
$wgVectorDefaultSkinVersionForExistingAccounts, and
$wgVectorDefaultSkinVersionForNewAccounts. These configurations default
to the fullest experience so that third-party configuration is minimal.
See skin.json for details. The configurations are each tested in
VectorHooksTest.php.
When presentation is enabled, the new preference appears as a checkbox;
enabled is Legacy mode and disable is latest. There are a number of
unfortunate details:
- Showing and hiding a checkbox is supported by OOUI. Showing and hiding
a whole section (Vector skin preferences, in this case) is not so this
additional client JavaScript functionality is added in Core (see
Iaf68b238a8ac7a4fb22b9ef5d6c5a3394ee2e377).
- Stylization as a checkbox is wanted. However, the implied storage type
for OOUI checkboxes is a boolean. This is not wanted in the event that
another skin version is added (e.g., '3' or 'alpha'). As a workaround,
the preference is converted from a boolean to a version string ('1' or
'2') on save in Hooks::onPreferencesFormPreSave() and from a version
string to a checkbox enable / disable string ('1' or '0') in
onGetPreferences(). There a number of test cases to help cover these
concerning details.
Documentation for overriding the skin version as a URL query parameter
is provided in anticipation of T244481.

Although the convention of where to put conventions remains somewhat
contentious, the team's desired conventions for Desktop Improvments have
so far been, for the most part, general and could be useful for any
project our team owns (e.g. MobileFrontend, Minerva, etc).
Therefore, I added/made revisions to the
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Coding_conventions wiki page
as this seems the be the single source of truth of our team specific
conventions that span across repos.
This commit just links to these changes which follows the same pattern
as Minerva and MobileFrontend.
Additional Changes:
* Added installation section similar to Minerva Skin

The logo is configured as a relative URL.
CSSMin encodeImageAsDataURI requires a file path.
There seems to be no reason to use a data uri here.
The print stylesheet is loaded on page load so the image
will be downloaded before a print action takes place.
Inspecting I788bcecadf26e4e5558b5b37e6fb1b2e9378277e
using a data uri makes little difference to the synchronous
nature of a print.

Logo cannot be displayed as a background image because it won't be
visible in print unless the user prints backgrounds too.
A sample configuration looks like this:
$wgVectorPrintLogo = [
'url' => 'https://en.wikipedia.org/static/images/mobile/copyright/wikipedia-wordmark-en.svg',
'width' => 174,
'height' => 27
];
The solution presented in the patch has a downside of not being able
to scale images down if their dimensions are bigger than the
dimensions specified in the config variable. For example, if we want
to go with an SVG image, then IE8 won't be able to render it.
Alternatively, if we want to go with a PNG image, its dimensions need
to match the exact dimensoins in the config variable, otherwise the
image will show up larger or smaller depending on its dimensions.
A more complicated approach of scaling images using `transform: scale`
hasn't been used because we wanted to keep the configuration simple
while supporting the majority of our users. With the current change,
we can reuse the existing configuration options from Minerva, for
exmaple. It would look something like this:
$wgVectorPrintLogo = [
'url' => $wgMFCustomLogos['copyright'],
'width' => $wgMFCustomLogos['copyright-width'],
'height' => $wgMFCustomLogos['copyright-height']
];
